Nigeria’s Super Eagles secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Rwanda, reviving their hopes for 2026 World Cup qualification.
New Wolves striker Tolu Arokodare scored the winning goal in the 51st minute.
The win moves Nigeria into third place in Group C, six points behind leaders South Africa, whom they face in a critical match on Tuesday.
The victory was tempered by an injury to star striker Victor Osimhen, who was forced off the field in the first half.
Arokodare’s performance provides a much-needed boost for the team as they head into their must-win game.
