Super Eagles secure narrow victory against Rwanda, keep World Cup dreams alive
Wolves striker Tolu Arokodare struck the decisive goal as Nigeria edged Rwanda in a tense 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier, a result that keeps the Super Eagles’ fading qualification hopes alive.
The hard-fought victory came against a resilient Rwandan side that made the visitors work for every chance. But Arokodare’s clinical finish proved enough to secure all three points in the crucial Group C clash.
With the win, Nigeria remain in contention—though still with ground to cover—as they prepare to face South Africa in their next fixture, a match that could define their qualification campaign.
