Nigeria’s Super Eagles booked their place at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) with a comprehensive 6-0 win over Sao Tome and Principe in Uyo on Sunday.
Though the game at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium was widely dubbed a dead rubber since Nigeria were already sure of their place at next year’s Afcon tournament regardless of the result, Jose Peseiro’s men still came all out to secure a heartwarming result.
The Super Eagles dominated the game from start to finish, with Victor Osimhen scoring a hat-trick.
Ademola Lookman, Taiwo Awoniyi, and Samuel Chukwueze also got on the scoresheet as the Super Eagles romped to what was their biggest win on home soil for more than four decades.
While, collectively, the Eagles were brilliant albeit against a less-fancied opposition, their level of performance differed as they romped to their biggest win on home soil in 45 years.
