The Super Eagles B on Tuesday caged Congo’s Red Devils with two goals in the second half in the 8th African Nations Championship at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Dar es Salaam, Tanzanian.

Both teams have been eliminated from the championship.

Congo had hopes of inching their way into the knockout rounds before kick-off, with two points from their first two matches, including a fit-fighting draw with champions Senegal.

For their part, the Eagles already had their bags packed for the journey home after an underwhelming first two games of the group phase which they lost by a lone goal to Senegal and were battered four goals by Sudan.

Both teams did not present a spectacle in the first period, with no clear-cut opportunities created, though the Red Devils could have gone ahead in the 25th minute when Nigeria captain Nduka Junior bungled a simple pass and was lucky the opposing striker could not keep his header down in front of junior international goalkeeper Ebenezer Harcourt.

Nigeria returned from recess with obvious renewed vigour, and it was no surprise when Anas Yusuf connected home beautifully, a headed pass by Sikiru Alimi in the 56th minute, following a cross by defender Abdulrafiu Taiwo.

The 2018 silver medallists, who had not scored a goal in the competition since winning their semi-final clash with Sudan in Marrakech seven years ago, pushed forward more and got a second goal three minutes into added time through Sikiru Alimi.

Cup-holders Senegal and Sudan made it to the quarter-finals from Group D, while the Eagles were expected back home on Thursday.
