THE Super Eagles have defeated Gabon 4-1 in their 2026 World Cup playoff semi-final on Thursday evening.
Nigeria qualified for the mini-tournament as one of the best runners-up in the main qualifying series.
Eric Chelle’s men finished behind South Africa who grabbed the automatic ticket from Group C.
Against the Panthers, the Eagles dominated the early exchanges of the game, but failed to find the goal that their dominance deserved.
They were also lucky not to concede a penalty, after Bright Osayi-Samuel’s tug on the shirt was scrutinized through the VAR pitchside monitor. But the referee decided not to award a spot-kick.
