Nigeria's Super Eagles battled to a nervy 2-1 victory over Lesotho in Polokwane on Friday, keeping alive their slim hopes of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Soccernet.ng reports .
After a frustrating first half, captain William Troost-Ekong converted from the spot before debutant Akor Adams doubled the lead with a well-taken strike.
The hosts, however, capitalised on a defensive lapse to pull one back, setting up a tense finale that Nigeria just managed to survive.
