Nigeria kept their World Cup qualifying campaign alive with a 1-0 home win over Rwanda on Saturday. Substitute Tolu Arokodare sealed the victory with a stunning overhead kick early in the second half.
The result lifted Nigeria to third place in Group C, six points behind leaders South Africa with three matches left to play.
The Super Eagles face South Africa on Tuesday in a clash that could decide the group’s outcome. South Africa, however, risk losing three points over fielding an ineligible player in March — a sanction FIFA has yet to confirm.
