GAROUA, Cameroun – The Super Eagles today continued their campaign at the ongoing African Cup of Nations, AFCON on a good note, beating Sudan 3-1.
The Super Eagles dominated the day with Samuel Chuwueze securing the first goal for the Super Eagles in the 3rd minutes. Taiwo Awonniyi made it 2 in the 45th minutes, ending the first half 2-0.
The Super Eagles came in very determined in the second half with Moses Simon scoring Nigeria’s third goal just a minute into the second half in the 46th minutes.
Sudan pulled one back in the 70th minutes when Walieldin Khidir scored via a penalty kick awarded to Sudan. The Sudanese battled spiritedly to come back into the game, making incursions into the Nigerian box 18 but it was to no avail.
