The Super Eagles of Nigeria have staged a laudable return as they thrashed Central African Republic (2-0) on Sunday in a reverse World Cup qualifying match.

Recall CAR had shocked the Super Eagles on Thursday, October 7, 2021 at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Surulere, Lagos, with a lone goal victory scored on an added time to silence the fans.

The Eagles now have a nine points to sit comfortably on top of Group C.
