Super Eagles of Nigeria refuse to fly as they suffer shock 0-1 defeat from Centra Africa Republic in the 2022 world cup qualifying fixtures held at the Tesiline Balogun Stadium in Lagos on Thursday evening.
A lone goal from Karl Namnganda in the final minutes of the second half was enough to seal the win for the visitors.
The first half ended in a barren draw as both sides failed to secure an opener.
After what seemed like a fruitless attack from the Eagles side, the Central African Republican side seized the only chance to slot in the decisive strike.
Super Eagles will now prepare for another encounter as the visitors will now play host to the Nigerian side at Duala in a forth night.
Nigeria still top the group with 6 points followed by Cape verde with 4 points who defeated Liberia 2-1 in the other fixture. Centra Africa now sits 3rd with 4 points and Liberia occupy
fourth position with 3 points going into the reverse fixtures.
