Guinea-Bissau Defeats Nigeria 3-0 in AFCON Qualifier
On September 29, Nigeria's Super Eagles suffered a 3-0 defeat against Guinea-Bissau in Bissau, marking a major setback in their quest to qualify for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations. The match saw Franculino Djú score the opening goal in the 15th minute, followed by captain Mama Baldé doubling the lead in the 66th minute. Álvaro Djaló sealed the victory with a goal in stoppage time.
This loss leaves Nigeria with three points from their first two Group L matches, having previously won 2-1 against Madagascar in Uyo. Guinea-Bissau, on the other hand, has now achieved maximum points from their two qualifying matches, having also defeated Tanzania earlier.
The Super Eagles struggled to establish control during the match, failing to create significant attacking pressure and ultimately unable to respond effectively to Guinea-Bissau's organized defense.
