The Super Eagles of Nigeria defeated Rwanda in a World Cup Qualifier match, reigniting their hopes for the 2026 World Cup. The game, held in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, saw Victor Osimhen scoring before being substituted due to an ankle injury.

Nigeria's Tolu Arokodare secured the victory with a goal in the 51st minute. This win places Nigeria in third position in Group C, with South Africa leading.

Osimhen's injury forced him to leave the match early, adding to Nigeria's challenges. The Super Eagles are now gearing up to face South Africa in their next crucial match to secure their spot in the World Cup.
