Nigeria will finish 2nd but will qualify for Playoffs if it ends 4-0.
After 2pts deduction, we'll have 15pts +7

Oga why are you using 10 matches for Nigeria while others have 7 or 8 matches

KingDashx:
Shey if them play like thos all this while dem go die ni..

Abi o.

But thankfully they stepped up today.

Why dem they jubilate like say them win Cup?

If to say naija qualify, no be so you for celebrate?

Cocony:
Why did Eric Chelle take off Osimhen when we needed a 4th goal? Is he daft or what? Bringing in Arokodare to do what exactly? These are some of the inefficiencies we are talking about. Only a 4-0 margin will grant us play offs. He was well informed by Olajire Ademola(a journalist if I am not mistaken)

Osi requested for it

Angelfrost:
As in... It's just a mess!

Cape Verde and South Africa have largely local based players, yet they play far better football than our team of International stars.

They play cohesive football as a unit.

We play as individual professionals.

Post that on a South African forum

I'll do that when there's 0 Nigerian in SA.. so it's only fair, yes?

Reloadedisraelp:
am so happy hopes it end like dat or even 5-0

God will sustain your happiness.

All of Una arguing, 3-0 would be enough for us to qualify for the play offs. We would have same points and goal difference with burkina Faso but we would have scored more goals. However this analysis is not necessary because Nigeria just scored.
Goal ball jare.
Playoff here we come

not true 3-0, would have meant burkina faso is ahead, 2 goals scored and conceded against Zimbabwe will be deducted from Nigeria

Final whistle!

Republique du Benin you fall hand sha.. I was rooting for you to qualify for your first ever world cup. Maybe you would have gone far the way Cameroon, Senegal and Ghana did as debutants. All the best in 2030 world cup qualifiers.

Super eagles na now your work just start.

Eric Chelle deserves his flowers sha.. from 3 points to 17 points, took us from the pit ex-super eagles players turned coach threw us in. Why people are calling him clueless coach is beyond me!

Goal haters of Nigeria how far? We're through to play-off Nigeria na babanla.

If we manage qualify for play off, we should thank Eritrea.

Following the new CAF rule regarding Eritrea's withdrawal from the World Cup qualifiers, which states that points earned against the last-placed team will be removed when ranking second-placed teams, here is how Group C, which Nigeria belongs to, is affected as of October 14, 2025:
The CAF and FIFA are considering removing the points earned against the last-placed team in each group to address the imbalance caused by Eritrea's withdrawal from Group E. If this rule is applied to Group C, and Zimbabwe is considered the bottom team, Nigeria would lose 2 points, South Africa would lose 4 points, and Benin would lose 4 points
Here are the revised Group C standings based on this rule:
Rank Team Points
1 Benin 13
2 Nigeria 12
3 South Africa 11

Before today's match.

How do you include South Africa that topped the group as part of the 2nd placed teams again?

All nations do.. come on now, lol

Why are the players do excited ? Are they aware they didn't qualify?

IronGalaxy:

The whites own south Africa

There's nothing to celebrate. We are going nowhere

But why did these useless boys have to wait till it's literally over to show character. I mean, if they had done just half of this all along, we would not be here now.

Now we are praying that Congo AND Uganda drop points. Cameroon aint dropping shit thats for sure
