Nigeria Sets Unwanted Record After 4:0 Defeat to Sudan in CHAN, Crashes Out in Shame
Nigeria suffered a humiliating 4-0 defeat to Sudan in the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN), leading to their early elimination from the tournament. The loss marked a new unwanted record for Nigeria, as they became the first team in CHAN history to concede five goals without scoring any.
Despite initially taking the lead through Anthony Ijoma, Nigeria's hopes were dashed when the Video Assistant Referee ruled out the goal for offside. Sudan capitalized on defensive lapses, with Abdel Raouf scoring twice in quick succession.
The defeat to Sudan followed a narrow loss to Senegal in their opening match. Coach Eric Chelle faced criticism for his handling of the team, with calls for his resignation.
Sudan's victory placed them at the top of the group, while Nigeria faced a disappointing end to their CHAN campaign.
