After a goalless first half, goals from Umar Sadiq and William Troost-Ekong helped the three-time African champions grab nine points after three games in Group D.

The Super Eagles started the second 45 minutes as the better side and they were rewarded with the opening goal through Sadiq in the 56th minute after a fine left-footed pass from Iheanacho.
Simon boosted Nigeria’s attack and quest for a second goal with his runs and dribbles which paid off in the 75th minute.
Austin Eguavoen’s side will play the third-best team from Group E or F in the round of 16 in Garoua on Sunday.
