The 4-0 victory was enough for the Super Eagles to secure one of four spaces in next month's African play-offs, with the overall winner of that progressing to Fifa's final six-team inter-continental qualifier which is scheduled to be held next March.

If Nigeria beat Benin and south Africa score 2 goals against Manchester united then Lesotho play against Newcastle on Sunday probably Super eagles needs 1 point to win against Enyimba , meaning there's hope for Arsenal against world cup in Zimbabwe l swear calculation na water 🤣🤣
