Nigeria progress to the knockout stages with 3-1 victory over Sudan

Nigeria claimed a comfortable 3-1 victory over Sudan on Saturday to progress to the knockouts of AFCON 2021.

The Super Eagles made a brilliant start at the Roumdé Adjia Stadium as they scored the opener inside the first three minutes of the match.

Samuel Chukwueze tapped home the first goal for his side after being set up by Moses Simon.

Union Berlin forward Taiwo Awoniyi then added another on the stroke of half-time to put his side in a dominating position.

If the fans of Sudan were hoping for a comeback after the interval, then they were hugely disappointed.
