The Super Eagles got the much-needed win over Guinea Bissau to give reprieve to the under-fire manager, Jose Peseiro, with a hard-fought 1-0 win that took Nigeria back to the top of Group A with nine points, with two matches left in the 2024 AFCON qualifying series.
A first-half penalty, expertly dispatched by Moses Simon, sealed the win, and even though the Eagles created chances to make the score line more emphatic, the lone goal was enough to give Peseiro more time to fashion a winning machine from the plethora of stars at his disposal before their matchday 5 encounter away to Sierra Leone in June.
