Nigeria moved back to the top of their 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying pool on Monday evening after Moses Simon’s 30th-minute penalty condemned hosts Guinea Bissau to a one-goal defeat at home
After the shocking defeat two days prior, The Super Eagles were under intense pressure to make amends and came through with flying colours after some decisive changes made by head coach José Peseiro to his starting line-up; Wilfried Ndidi and Kelechi Iheanacho were left off the roster and it proved invaluable as Nigeria returned to winning form.
With the Victory, the super Eagles have returned to the top of the table with nine points, with Guinea Bissau second on seven and Sierra Leone, who spanked Sao Tome and Principe on Wednesday are third on five points.
