Super Eagles Fall 3-0 to Guinea-Bissau in AFCON Qualifier
On September 30, Nigeria's Super Eagles faced a significant setback in their Africa Cup of Nations 2027 qualification campaign, losing 3-0 to Guinea-Bissau in Bissau. This defeat followed a 2-1 comeback victory against Madagascar in Uyo just four days prior.
Franculino Djú scored the opening goal in the 15th minute, and captain Mama Baldé added a second in the 66th minute. Álvaro Djaló sealed the match with a stoppage-time goal. The loss leaves Nigeria with three points from two matches, while Guinea-Bissau has won both of their games, putting them in a strong position for qualification.
With Tanzania already securing a spot as a co-host, Nigeria, Guinea-Bissau, and Madagascar are competing for the remaining qualification place from Group L. Nigeria had entered the match with confidence after their previous win, but they struggled to convert possession into scoring opportunities against a dominant Guinea-Bissau side.
