Nigeria’s quest to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup received a major boost on Friday as the Super Eagles recorded a hard-fought 2-1 away victory over Lesotho.
Captain William Troost-Ekong led by example, opening the scoring for Nigeria before Akor Adams sealed the win with a composed finish.
Lesotho’s Kalake had earlier drawn his side level, but it wasn’t enough to deny the visitors maximum points.
The result reignites Nigeria’s World Cup qualification hopes and lifts the team’s confidence ahead of their next crucial group fixture.
