The Eagles could not find the breakthrough despite being dominant in most part of the game, as the Rwandese team remained disciplined in the defence.
Rwanda held Nigeria’s Super Eagles to a frustrating 0-0 draw during their second match of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
The Falcons couldn’t track down the leap forward in spite of being prevailing in most piece of the game, as the Rwandese group stayed restrained in the safeguard. With the 3-0 persuading prevail upon Benin Republic on Saturday, assumptions were high for the Nigerians to emerge with triumph and keep 100% record in the qualifiers. Coach Augustine Eguavoen only made one change from the previous game: Alex Iwobi was replaced in the starting lineup by Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, and Victor Osimhen started from the bench, just like he did against Benin. With the hottest star of the moment Ademola Lookman torturing the Amavubi defense, Nigeria took control of the game right away, as was to be expected. In the 22nd minute, he thought he had given the Eagles the lead, but the goal was called offside by the official. A choice numerous Nigerian fans disagree with.
