Super Eagles Crash Out After Heavy Defeat To Impressive Sudan Side
Sudan secured a dominant victory over Nigeria in the CHAN PAMOJA 2025 tournament, eliminating the Super Eagles with one group match remaining. The Falcons Jediane took the lead with a goal from Leonard Ngenge in the 25th minute, followed by a penalty converted by Captain Walieldin Khdir in the 44th minute.
Despite Nigeria's efforts, including missed chances by Sikiru Alimi, Sudan's Abdel Raouf Yagoub sealed the win with two clinical goals in the second half. Nigeria's elimination was confirmed after managing zero points in their opening two fixtures, unable to reach the knockout stage.
Sudan's impressive performance was attributed to their defensive shape and effective exploitation of space, with goalkeeper Mohamed Abooja making crucial saves. The result leaves Sudan at the top of the group, while Nigeria faces Congo in their final match with pride at stake.
Sudan will meet Senegal in a decisive encounter that could determine the group winner.
