Nigeria Beats Rwanda 1-0 in 2026 WCQ with Tolu Arokodare's Winning Goal

Nigeria secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Rwanda in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers, with Tolu Arokodare scoring the lone goal at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium. This win marked Nigeria's second victory in the CAF Qualification Group, with their first win against Rwanda in March.

Despite Victor Osimhen's early goal being ruled offside, Arokodare's strike sealed the win. The match saw tactical changes by the Super Eagles' coach Eric Chelle, leading to a goal in the second half and three Rwandan players receiving yellow cards.

The victory puts Nigeria in a strong position in the World Cup qualifying campaign.
