Nigeria defeats Benin Republic 3-0 in AFCON qualifier

Nigeria’s Super Eagles commenced their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying journey with a resounding 3-0 triumph over Benin Republic in Uyo on Saturday.

The team’s dominance was evident from the start, with Ademola Lookman’s exceptional skill leading to the opening goal.

Despite Benin Republic’s attempts to gain momentum, the Super Eagles maintained control, with substitute Victor Osimhen scoring the second goal and Lookman netting his second of the game to seal the victory.

The team will now face Rwanda at the Amahoro Stadium in Kigali on Tuesday, looking to build on this impressive start.
