Nigeria qualified for the quarter-finals of the African Nations Cup after taking advantage of three defensive mistakes to win 3-1 over Sudan in Group D on Saturday.
Nigeria leads the group with six points, having previously won 1-0 against Egypt in its first match.
Sudan’s balance stopped at one point in two matches, after a goalless draw with Guinea-Bissau, and it needed to beat Egypt in the last match to maintain its hopes of qualifying.
