The Super Eagles of Nigeria have defeated the Zambian national team to become the first African country to qualify for the FIFA World Cup in Russia next year.
The tense match was settled by a 74 minute Alex Iwobi goal to send football lovers present at the Akwa Ibom Stadium and across the world into the seventh heaven.
The early qualification with a handful of games to spare is a relief to many fans who are used to the team’s usual late struggle in qualifying games.
