The Super Eagles on Friday secured a crucial 2-0 victory over Rwanda to boost their FIFA World Cup qualification campaign.

Victor Osimhen opened the scoring in the 11th minute and doubled the lead just before halftime, giving Nigeria a comfortable advantage at the Amahoro Stadium in Kigali.

The match marked the first game under new head coach Éric Chelle, the Franco-Malian tactician tasked with guiding the Super Eagles back to the global stage.
