Nigerian Super Eagle Wallops The Cameroon Indomitable Lion Into Their Dens.

The Nigerian Super Eagles on Monday punched out the Indomitable Lions’ hopes of qualifying for the Russia 2018 World Cup despite being held 1-1 by the Cameroonians in the reverse fixture of their Russia 2018 World Cup qualifying double-header in Yaoundé.

It was sweet revenge for the Nigerians, who lost the ticket to the 1990 World Cup to the Lions after losing 1-0 in Yaoundé in 1989.

With the draw, the Eagles thus tops the table with 10 points, Zambia stays second with 4 points, Cameroon have 2 points while Algeria are bottom with a solitary point.

The Nigerian Super Eagles amassed four points from the double fixtures having walloped the Cameroonians 4-0 in Uyo on Friday, to extend their lead in Group B to 10 points.

The hosts searched for a winner but the Eagles held on for a draw over their bitter rivals. Nigeria, however, will wait till they play their last two matches in October against Zambia in Uyo and Algeria in Algiers in November to ensure their qualification to Russia.

The Zambians, who defeated Algeria 3-1 on Saturday, will hope to take their chance to close the gap between them and the Eagles when they play their last two matches in October against Zambia in Uyo and Algeria in Algiers in November to ensure their qualification to Russia.
