Nigeria’s chances of a 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualification suffered a major setback on Tuesday as the three-time African champions Super Eagles were beaten 3-0 by Guinea-Bissau in their second Group L fixture.
The hosts broke the deadlock in the 15th minute through right winger Franculino Djú, who went past Bruno Onyemaechi to find the bottom left corner. Nigeria goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali was rooted to the spot and could not stop the ball.
Alex Iwobi created a good chance for Ademola Lookman, but the Atletico Madrid star was denied by the opposition keeper Fernando Emadje in the first half.
