Nigeria’s place at the tournament in Cameroon next January was confirmed earlier on Saturday when the other two countries in Group L -- Lesotho and Sierra Leone -- played out a drab goalless draw in Maseru, ensuring at least a top-two finish for leaders Nigeria.
The victory for Nigeria was a blow for their crestfallen hosts and keeps alive the hopes of third-placed Sierra Leone, who must beat Benin at home on Tuesday to finish second in the group. Nigeria, who jettisoned plans to travel by road to their neighbours and went by boat instead, created the better chances, including a flying header from Victor Osimhen that Benin goalkeeper Saturnin Allagbe saved at point-blank range in the last action of the first half.
Amin amin syukur alhamdulillah
