Nigeria Cruise Into Last 16 After Win Over Sudan
Nigeria cruised to a 3-1 win over Sudan in the Africa Cup of Nations, securing a place in the last 16.
From a Moses Simon pull-back, Samuel Chukwueze started the Super Eagles on their way in the third minute.
On the stroke of half-time, Nigeria increased their lead when Taiwo Awoniyi scored, and Simon added a third straight goal after the restart.
Sudan equalized through Walieldin Khedr from the penalty spot after Ola Aina was penalized for a challenge.
Following a video assistant referee assessment, the Nigeria right-back was found to have fouled Secretary Birds defender Mustafa Karshoum by yanking his shirt as a corner was swung in.
