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.

Nigeria had already won the group before kick-off, and became the only team to progress into the last 16 with three group-stage wins.

Egypt finished second in Group D with six points, while Guinea-Bissau and Sudan were knocked out with one point each.

Sadiq should be arrested after this match. I miss Osimhen and Ighalo. Even Emenike is better than this nonsense. This CF headache is our only problem

Is guinea a good country to migrate to?

While watching the match, my mind kept telling me that Sadiq was in the team based on federal character to fill in the aboki quota.
Abeg we are going into the serious part of the tournament, they should drop the guy, we don't need another Sani Keita here please

Aswear Austin eguavon really did a good job on ds guys

Rohr must be somewhere in Germany scratching his head in disbelief …
(But smiling with the fat salary he collected)

Congratulations to Nigeria.





Africa should sit up o, nor be only bad things we go dey copy from oyibo. We should also learn to do things right so we won't be made laughing stock before the rest of the world........I wondered why it took VAR 1year to make a decision in a match. The referee was just making call as if he's talking to his new girlfriend on phone.

At least for once let's use this one to get a break from the stress this government is giving us

.

Simon the man.

Analysing objectively eh, Sadiq is not inform, he was the flop of the game, I wish the coach can allow him watch from the bench for the next 2 matches. Maybe he'll bring back the almeria spirit

you are trying to sound wise, which we know you are not. All of you with negative vibes are the 3rd problem we have in this country after bubu and nepa.

The Eagles flew..

Not a bad sight to behold.
