Nigeria’s Super Eagles are now just one win away from a place in the 2018 world cup after an emphatic 4-0 win over African Champions Cameroon.
Goals from Odion Ighalo, captain Mikel Obi, Victor Moses and Kelechi Iheanacho helped the Eagles to victory.
The win over the African champions took the Super Eagles points haul to a perfect nine from three matches, seven points ahead of the second-placed Cameroonians. Zambia and Algeria, who have a point apiece from their opening two games, will play each other on Saturday in Lusaka.
Depending on the outcome of Saturday’s encounter, the Super Eagles could well book their ticket to Russia with another victory over the Cameroonians on Monday when both sides meet in Yaounde in the reverse fixture.
