The Super Eagles on Thursday, November 13, defeated the Panthers of Gabon in a crucial 2026 World Cup playoff semi-final at Stade Mohammed V, Rabat, Morocco.

Nigeria booked their place in the CAF playoff final with a thrilling 4-1 extra-time victory over Gabon.

Akor Adams in the 78th minute pounced on an unforced error, rounding the Gabonese goalkeeper, to give Nigeria the lead.

Victor Osimhen (102th minute and 110th minute) and substitute Chidera Ejuke (97th minute) scored in extra time to leave Nigeria in a commanding position.

Nigeria will now advance to Sunday’s final against Cameroon or DR Congo, with a place in March’s intercontinental play-off on the line.
