Nigeria’s Super Eagles defeated Gabon 4-1 in extra time during the CAF World Cup playoff semifinal on Thursday, in Rabat, Morocco, advancing to face the winner of Congo DR and Morocco.
Wilfred Ndidi drives forward from midfield and slides a perfect pass into the path of Chidera Ejuke, who slots it home for his first goal for Nigeria!
Benjamin Frederick wins the ball in Nigeria’s half, drives it into the final third, and sets up Victor Osimhen, who nets his 30th goal for the Super Eagles!
Osimhen scored twice in extra time, with goals also from Akor Adams and Chidera Ejuke, after Mario Lemina equalized for Gabon late in regular time.
A controversial VAR decision denying Gabon a potential penalty in the 54th minute drew significant fan criticism on social media.
