The Super Eagles are back on top of Group A courtesy of a 1-0 win over Guinea Bissau

A goal from the penalty spot by Moses Simon in the 30th minute gave the Super Eagles a 1-0 win over Guinea Bissau in the return leg of a 2024 Africa Cup of Nations Cup qualifier on Monday.

There was a complete reshuffle in central defence as Kenneth Omeruo paired Friday substitute Semi Ajayi. Also in were Frank Onyeka, Moses Simon, and Terem Moffi. Moffi had a shot blocked for a corner in the seventh minute and in the 21st minute, after getting free of his marker in the box made a horrible connection with an attempted cross.

The second half was more of the same. Osimhen almost doubled Nigeria’s advantage in the 58th minute but his effort came off the post. Peseiro sent on Joe Aribo for Moffi on the hour to shore up the midfield and leave Osimhen as the lone striker.
