Nigeria's World Cup dream is still alive, and now the Super Eagles know exactly who stands in their way. After a thrilling 4-1 extra-time victory over Gabon today, as Softfootball reported, Nigeria will now face the Democratic Republic of Congo in the CAF World Cup qualifying play-off final on Sunday.
The Super Eagles confirmed this clash via their official X account as they shared:
The night in Rabat was anything but calm for Nigerian fans. Akor Adams thought he'd done enough when he broke the deadlock in the 78th minute, only for Gabon's Mario Lemina to level things up at the death in the 89th minute, of all times. It felt like a punch to the gut, but the Super Eagles refused to fold.
