Super Eagles Lose 0:1 To Central African Republic In Lagos.
Despite being ranked 120th by FIFA in the world, the Central African Republic senior men’s team recorded a shock 1-0 win over the Super Eagles of Nigeria in Lagos on Thursday, October 7, 2021.
Despite being ranked 90 places behind Nigeria, the national team of the Central African Republic, scored a late goal against Nigeria following a poor miscalculation between defenders William Troost-Ekong and Leon Balogun, allowing Karl Namnganda to fire his shot past goalkeeper Francis Uzoho.
It is the CAR’s first win in the qualifying campaign.
Â
Nigeria dominated all through the game but were kept at bay by a sturdy CAR defence line, as the Super Eagles didn’t record any shot on goal.
Â
Despite the dropped points in Lagos, the super Eagles remain at the top of Group C with six points after three games while the Central African Republic now have four points same as Cape Verde who also beat Liberia away from home on Thursday.
