Nigeria beats host nation Ivory Coast 1-nil at the Afcon 2023

Nigeria defeated Ivory Coast 1-0 in their second group game of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) to edge closer to qualifying for the second round of the competition.

The Super Eagles’ lone goal win over the Elephants came courtesy of the team’s assistant captain, William Troost-Ekong.

The PAOK Thessaloniki of Greece central defender scored the only goal of the game from the penalty spot in the 55th minute.

Nigeria’s job was made much more difficult after Equatorial Guinea defeated Guinea-Bissau 4-2 with a hat-trick from Emiliano Nsue on Thursday to go to the top of Group A.

The Super Eagles, however, made sure they defeated the host nation to go joint-top with Equatorial Guinea with both sides now on four points ahead of their final group games.

Nigeria will face Guinea-Bissau in their final group match while Equatorial Guinea will do battle with Ivory Coast.
