The Super Eagles dominated from start to finish, securing three consecutive wins that have positioned them as genuine contenders in Morocco. Meanwhile, Uganda’s tournament ended in disappointment, collecting just a single point across their three matches.
The Super Eagles immediately seized the initiative, pressing high and moving the ball with purpose. Their attacking intent kept Uganda’s defense under constant pressure throughout the opening half.
Nigeria’s dominance was rewarded in the 28th minute when Paul Onuachu pounced on a clever pass from Fisayo Dele-Bashiru to give his side the lead. The goal reflected Nigeria’s superiority and sent them clear at the top of the group standings.
