Nigeria’s Super Eagles are back in contention to top Group A after defeating AFCON 2023 hosts Cote d’Ivoire 1-0 on Thursday.
A penalty by captain William Troost-Ekong in the 54th minute was all the Eagles needed for the win and the three points.
Coach Jose Peseiro tweaked his formation to a 3-4-3 to match the Elephants, and he brought in Calvin Bassey as the third centre-back while Samuel Chukwueze replaced Moses Simon on the right flank.
