Nigeria's Super Eagles Suffer 3-0 Loss to Guinea-Bissau

The Super Eagles of Nigeria faced a heavy 3-0 defeat against Guinea-Bissau on matchday two of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers at the September 24 Stadium. The Confederation of African Football confirmed the scoreline in its official match report.

Franculino Dju opened the scoring for Guinea-Bissau in the 15th minute, followed by Mama Baldé extending the lead midway through the second half. Álvaro Djaló sealed the victory with a third goal deep into stoppage time. This defeat is noted as one of Nigeria's most damaging results in five years and marks the first time they have conceded three goals to an African team in that period.

Nigeria now sits below Guinea-Bissau in Group L, with only one team able to advance due to Tanzania's automatic qualification as a co-host. To secure the sole qualifying spot, Nigeria must surpass Guinea-Bissau in the remaining fixtures, facing a challenging road ahead.
