AFCONQ 2025: Super Eagles suffer shock 2-1 defeat to Rwanda in Uyo

Nigeria rounded off their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying series with a shock 2-1 defeat to Rwanda.

The game was played at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo.

The Super Eagles came into the game already qualified for next year’s tournament as Group D winners.

And it was the three-time African champions who took the lead in the 59th minute through a fine solo goal from Samuel Chukwueze.

But the Rwandans replied with two quick goals from Ange Mutsinzi and Innocent Nshuti to claim their first ever win over Nigeria.

This is the first defeat under interim manager, Augustine Eguavoen, who might be stepping down from the role.
