William Troost-Ekong’s decisive second-half penalty secured a narrow 1-0 win for the Super Eagles, marking a significant victory as it handed the hosts, Ivory Coast, their first defeat in nine matches and blowing the AFCON Group A open.
This outcome adds a thrilling twist to Group A with one fixture remaining.
The golden moment came with a penalty 10 minutes into the second half, and surprisingly, it was ex-Watford defender Troost-Ekong who stepped up, converting the penalty with precision beyond Yahia Fofana, sealing all three points for the Super Eagles.
This is indeed a powerful win dedicated to the unity of Nigeria and its people.
