Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 69684, member: 636"] A late surge in extra time secured Nigeria a 4-1 victory against Gabon in a World Cup qualifying match. Victor Osimhen was the standout performer, scoring two critical goals after missing a significant opportunity at the end of regular time. His strikes in the additional period sealed the win for the Super Eagles. Nigeria had initially taken the lead through Akor Adams, but a deflected shot from Mario Lemina forced the match into extra time. Substitute Chidera Ejuke, then put Nigeria ahead again before Osimhen's double confirmed the result. The match was held in Rabat. This win advances Nigeria to the tournament's final, where they will face the winner of the match between Cameroon and the Democratic Republic of Congo. A victory in that final would secure Nigeria a place in the upcoming World Cup. [/QUOTE]
