The Super Eagles tonight qualified for the 2025 AFCON in Morocco even before their Group D clash against Benin in Abidjan after home team Rwanda fell 1-0 to Libya in Kigali.
After a scoreless first half at the Amahoro Stadium in Kigali, substitute Fahd Saad Mohamed was the late match winner when he fired home in the 84th minute.
This shock home loss means Rwanda now have five points from five matches and even if they beat the Super Eagles Monday in Uyo, they will not finish higher than the three-time African champions.
However, Rwanda are still pressing hard on second-placed Benin, who also have six points, but with tonight’s game against Nigeria still to be played.
Libya remain bottom of the standings with four points.
They welcome Benin Monday in a final Group D game.
