Eric Chelle celebrated his debut as the Nigeria team manager with a victory as the Super Eagles beat Rwanda's Wasps 2-0 at the Amahoro Stadium during the fifth match day of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying rounds.
Victor Osimhen, the striker for Galatasaray, netted twice in the opening half, helping the previous African titleholders reignite their chances of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.
The outcome placed Nigeria in the fourth position in Group C with seven points from the five games played until now. Meanwhile, South Africa moved to the top of the group after beating Lesotho 2-0 at the Peter Madiba Stadium within their own territory, accumulating 10 points. Nigeria’s upcoming match will be against Zimbabwe on Monday.
