Nigeria ended their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign with a surprising 2-1 loss to Rwanda at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo.
Despite already securing their spot in next year’s tournament as Group D winners, the Super Eagles were stunned by the defeat.
And it was the three-time African champions who took the lead in the 59th minute through a fine solo goal from Samuel Chukwueze.
But the Rwandans replied with two quick goals from Ange Mutsinzi and Innocent Nshuti to claim their first ever win over Nigeria.
This is the first defeat under interim manager, Augustine Eguavoen, who might be stepping down from the role.
