AFCON 2023: Super Eagles Beats Guinea-Bissau

Moses Simon scored the all-important winner as the super eagles roared to a 1-0 win over Guinea-Bissau to return to the top of group a of the 2023 Africa cup of nations qualifying campaign.

Guinea-Bissau produced one of the biggest shocks of the qualifying series when they defeated a star-studded Nigeria side in Abuja on Friday to overtake the eagles at the top of the group standings.

The super eagles, stung by that disappointing home loss, were yet again the better side in the opening minutes, creating the better chances to open the scoring.

The opening goal arrived from the penalty spot on the half-hour mark.

Nantes forward Moses Simon converted smartly, sending the goalkeeper the wrong way and the away bench into celebration.

The three-time African champions have two points more than Guinea-Bissau and four more than Sierra Leone, who defeated SAO Tome and Principe 2-0 in the other group match.

Nigeria still have to play Sierra Leone away and SAO Tome and Principe at home, with the eagles set to book their spot at the next edition of the AFCON if they avoid defeat in both games.
