Nigeria 2-0 Swaziland: Moses Simon, Efe Ambrose Nets Eagles To Victory

The super eagles of Nigeria broke the deadlock against Swaziland in the 51st minute of play when Moses Simon curled in a superb free kick from about 26 yards.

The Shilangus parked the bus in their own defence and denied the eagles of any good chance in the first half with the best attempt coming from Odion Ighalo which he kicked off target. The King Shield however got a super attempt in the first half after they played a set piece into the box of the Super Eagles.

During the half time break Daniel Amokachi said "it seems the god of football is on the side of the eagles, that attempt from the Shilangus should have been a goal but it seems Nigeria was fortunate not to have conceded that goal".


The Swazis moved into open play after Moses Simon's goal but were destined to concede again after Efe Ambrose scored from another set piece. The Super Eagles will now proceed to the group qualifiers for Russia 2018.

The 20 teams to qualify will be grouped into four groups and one country will qualify from each group for the World cup in Russia.
