AFCON Qualifier: Nigeria thrash Lesotho 3-0
The Super Eagles of Nigeria defeated the Crocodiles of Lesotho 3-0 in their final Africa Cup of Nations qualifier at the Teslim Balogun Stadium in Lagos, on Tuesday.
Victor Osimhen, Oghenekaro Etebo and Paul Onuachu were the goalscorers as the West African giants saw off the minnows with a classy display that will have silenced the cynics.
Their first game against tiny Lesotho ended in a 4-2 victory away as, even though Nigeria looked superb going forward, they were undone twice at the back against the minnows.
Nigeria had already qualified for the African Cup of Nations tournaments billed for Cameroon next year.
It is expected that Super Eagles will now move up in the latest FIFA ranking since the other African giants like Algeria, Egypt, Morocco all recorded draws in their last matches.
