Super Eagles’ 2-1 loss to Benin puts them in jeopardy of missing 2026 World Cup
Nigeria lost to Benin Republic 2-1, which puts their chances of competing in the 2026 World Cup in peril.
Raphael Onyedika’s superb finish in the first half gave the Super Eagles a strong start as they attempted to recover from their 1-1 draw with South Africa last Friday.
Nevertheless, Jodel Dossou and Steve Mounie’s goals for the Beninese before the half put Finidi George’s team behind.
Nigeria is still in fifth place with three points, while Benin Republic leads Group C with seven points.
