Nigeria Defeats Rwanda By 2:0, In FIFA World Cup Qualifiers.


 "Nigeria clinched a vital 2-0 win against Rwanda in their CAF World Cup qualification Group C match on Friday, with Victor Osimhen stealing the spotlight with a first-half brace. The Super Eagles took an early lead in the 11th minute when Osimhen expertly finished a precise cross from Ademola Lookman. The Napoli striker struck again just before halftime (45+3’), cementing Nigeria’s dominance and securing three crucial points.


The game was marked by intense physicality, as Rwanda’s D. Bizimana was shown a yellow card in the 46th minute, followed by Nigeria’s Wilfred Ndidi receiving a booking in the 49th minute. Despite Rwanda holding 45% of the possession, they failed to pose a significant threat, managing only two shots on target. Nigeria, meanwhile, controlled the offensive momentum, registering three shots on target and earning eight corner kicks.


This victory propels Nigeria to fourth place in Group C with six points from five matches, reigniting their hopes of advancing in the qualification campaign. South Africa currently leads the group with 10 points, followed by Benin (8 points) and Rwanda (7 points). The Super Eagles will now turn their attention to their upcoming fixtures as they aim to climb the standings and secure a place in the next round of qualifiers."
