A win is a win! Super Eagles urged to prepare for South Africa after 'ugly win' against Rwanda

The Super Eagles of Nigeria have earned accolades for securing a vital 1-0 victory over Rwanda in a must-win World Cup Qualifier.

After a dismal start to the qualification campaign, Nigeria found themselves in a desperate position, needing to win all remaining matches to keep their hopes alive.

Despite dominating possession, the team struggled to translate their control into clear-cut chances.

Tragedy struck just past the half-hour mark when Nigeria's talisman, Victor Osimhen, was forced off the field in pain following a tough tackle, with Cyril Dessers stepping in as his replacement.

At halftime, coach Eric Chelle made a bold move, bringing on Tolu Arokodare for midfielder Frank Onyeka, and the Wolverhampton Wanderers striker delivered, bundling the ball home from close range.

The goal was far from pretty, but for Nigeria, the three points were all that mattered.

After the game, fans took to social media to praise the team, with many happy about the win in spite of the performance.
