CHAN: Docile Super Eagles B crash out after defeat to Sudan
Nigeria's Super Eagles B faced a disappointing exit from the 8th African Nations Championship after a crushing defeat to Sudan in Zanzibar. The Nigerian team appeared disjointed and failed to mount a significant challenge against the clinical Sudanese side.
The defeat sealed Nigeria's fate ahead of their final Group fixture against Congo in Dar es Salaam. The match saw Nigeria's heaviest loss in history since the 2018 final against Morocco.
Despite early intent shown by Nigeria, Sudan weathered the pressure and took the lead in the 22nd minute. Nigeria's woes continued as Sudan extended their lead before halftime.
Despite a triple substitution by Nigeria's head coach, Sudan tightened their grip on the game and sealed the victory with two more goals. The defeat leaves Nigeria at the bottom of the group, with Sudan facing Senegal in a group decider.
The loss raises serious questions about Nigeria's preparation, selection, and execution at the tournament level.
