The Super Eagles of Nigeria scraped a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Lesotho on Friday evening to keep their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification hopes alive.
It was far from a vintage performance from Finidi George's men in Maseru, but goals from captain William Troost-Ekong and debutant Jerome Adams were enough to secure all three points despite a late scare from the hosts.
Nigeria started the brighter of the two sides, with Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman testing the Lesotho defence early on.
