The Super Eagles of Nigeria cruised into the last-16 with a match to spare after 3-1 win against Sudan at the Africa Cup of Nations.
Building on their impressive win over Mohamed Salah’s seven-time champions Egypt in a heavyweight Group D opener in midweek, the Super Eagles overpowered Sudan on Saturday evening thanks to goals from Samuel Chukwueze, Taiwo Awoniyi and Moses Simon.
Walieldin Khedr Safour Daiyeen got Sudan off the mark at their first AFCON tournament for a decade with a consolation penalty in the second half after a foul by Ola Aina.
The result means Augustine Eguavoen’s side join hosts Cameroon by sealing a spot in the knockout rounds, with their final group game to come against Guinea-Bissau on Wednesday evening.
