Super Eagles’ World Cup hopes in ruins after shock loss to Benin
Benin Republic beat the Super Eagles for the first time on Monday, defeating them 2-1. That scoreline leaves Nigeria’s World Cup qualification on the line.
Nigeria have only a miserable three points from four World Cup qualification games and are at the risk of missing the next football tournament.
The defeat leaves the Super Eagles’ World Cup qualification campaign hanging by a thread. They face an uphill battle in their remaining matches, needing not only victories but also favorable results from other teams.
