How Guinea-Bissau dismantled Super Eagles
Legit.ng reports that the hosts drew first blood through Franculino Dju in the 15th minute, who curled a precise effort into the far corner past Nigeria goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali. Guinea-Bissau held that lead comfortably into half-time as Nigeria failed to mount any meaningful threat.
Coach Eric Chelle responded at the break, introducing Moses Usor and Moses Simon in place of Frank Onyeka and Taiwo Awoniyi. The changes, however, did little to shift the momentum, and Mama Baldé extended Guinea-Bissau's lead to 2-0 in the 66th minute.
Nigeria came close to pulling one back in the 87th minute when George Ilenikhena found himself in a promising position, but Guinea-Bissau goalkeeper Djoco Embadje produced a sharp close-range save to keep the advantage intact. Álvaro Djaló then sealed the result with a third goal deep into stoppage time.

The Super Eagles will need to regroup quickly if they are to stay on course for qualification to the 2027 tournament.
