Super Eagles held to goalless draw by Rwanda in AFCONQ tie
Super Eagles of Nigeria were held to a goalless draw by Rwanda in the matchday two fixture of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.
Ademola Lookman thought he had broken the deadlock for Nigeria but the centre referee made a controversial call as the effort was ruled out for offside.
Interim Super Eagles coach, Austin Eguavoen, made just one change in his starting 11 with Fisayo Dele-Bashiru coming in for Alex Iwobi.
