NIGERIA WINS OVER GUINEA- BISSEAU. 2-0
Nigeria has done it again beating Guinea-Bissau. Striker Sadiq Umar scored his first goal for Nigeria as they eased to a 2-0 victory over Guinea-Bissau in the Africa Cup of Nations to ensure a maximum return of nine points from their Group D matches.
Umar, who had a chance to open the scoring in the first-half but got the ball stuck under his feet, netted when Kelechi Iheanacho’s excellent pass with the outside of his boot across the goal provided a tap-in for his teammate.
Nigeria were in cruise control and scored a second as William Troost Ekong netted from close-range after Moses Simon had hit the crossbar following a mazy run into the box.
The goal was initially ruled out for offside, but the Super Eagles were awarded their second after a long VAR review.
