Super Eagles beat Rwanda to revive World Cup hopes
Nigeria’s senior national team, the Super Eagles, this Saturday evening, September 6, 2025, beat hard-fighting Amavubi of Rwanda 1-0 to revive their hopes of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup scheduled to take place in the USA, Mexico, and Canada.
Going into today’s encounter, Super Eagles knew they must win to keep their slim hopes of qualifying for the Mundial alive, having managed only seven points in six games earlier played and the Super Eagles did just that at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo.
The all-important goal came in the 52nd minute of play when striker Tolu Arokodare scrambled in the ball from the goal mouth during a melee.
With the victory, the Eagles leapfrogged Rwanda to the third position on the group.
They will now on Tuesday meet Group C leaders South Africa who are on 16 in Bloemfontein
