The Super Eagles are in trouble in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers after they lost 2-1 to the Gernot Rohr-coached Cheetahs of Benin Republic on Monday evening in Abidjan.
For the second match running, the Super Eagles went into the second half, trailing. The Eagles did not start brightly, but they took the lead through Raphael Onyedika’s first goal for his country. But a mistake by Calvin Bassey allowed Jodel Dossou to level for Gernot Rohr’s men.
In the third minute of added time in the first half, Brest attacker Steve Mounie blasted home in the box as the Eagles failed to clear a corner kick.
