Just in: Nigeria’s Super Eagles Thrash Amavubi in Kigali, Revitalize World Cup Dreams

The Super Eagles of Nigeria won the World Cup qualifying match in 2026 with a resounding 2-0 victory over the Amavubi of Rwanda at Amahoro Stadium on Friday.

The Eagles are now fourth in Group C with six points from five matches, thanks to Victor Osimhen’s brace, according to Persecondnews.

The Nigerian defense was strong, preventing every attack from the Rwandan side in the opening 30 minutes, wearing a new look under Coach Eric Chelle.

Rwandan attackers were frustrated by the synergy between Troost Ekong and Calvin Bassey in central defense, and Stanley Nwabali’s goalkeeper was largely untested.

The show was dominated by Ademola Lookman, Moses Simon, Samuel Chukwueze, and Victor Osimhen, but it was the attacking quartet.

The Rwandans were perplexed by their stunning interchange of passes in the Amavubi defense’s zone 14.

The Eagles’ dominance was set to begin with Osimhen’s stunning volley off a cross from Lookman.

The Nigerian striker’s second goal, which came just before halftime, was a sign of Chelle’s team’s tactical flexibility.

The Eagles caught the Rwandans off guard as they seamlessly transitioned from a 4-2-3-1 formation to a 5-3-3 configuration.

The Amavubi defense was caught off guard by Victor Osimhen’s 25th goal strike, which was the culmination of a quick counterattack that sent Nigeria flying.

With this victory, the Super Eagles’ hopes of winning the 2026 World Cup have been revived.

According to Persecondnews, Nigeria has won six tournaments and avoided missing from the world stage consecutively, which is an impressive World Cup record.

In stark contrast, Rwanda is still aiming to win its first World Cup appearance and is still aiming to make it official.

Nigerian Air Force Neutralises Terrorists in Airstrikes in North-East, North-West

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) claims to have attacked terrorist hideouts in Borno and Katsina states numerous times, killing several terrorists and crippling their operational networks.

According to a statement from the NAF Group Capt. Deputy Director, Public Relations and Information. The airstrikes were carried out between March 17 and March 19 according to Kabiru Ali on Friday.

On March 17, NAF launched a devastating airstrike on Chiralia, a infamous terrorist enclave in the Timbuktu Triangle.

A formidable force of NAF attack aircraft launched a precise and overwhelming assault, destroying numerous enemy installations and putting down terrorists who were desperately trying to escape with follow-up strikes,” Ali said.

Additionally, the airstrikes targeted Yuwe, a notorious insurgent fortress in Sambisa Forest, and Grazah, a well-defended terrorist hideout in the Mandara Mountains.

NAF fighter jets launched a relentless barrage of precise strikes on important targets, advancing purposefully into lethality, in a ferocious assault.

Following-up strikes heightened the offensive, destroying terrorists who were attempting to flee from both locations and destroying their operational networks, Ali added.

In close collaboration with ground forces, the NAF carried out a relentless aerial assault in the north-west of Katsina’s Zango Hill.

The precision strikes targeted regrouping fighters trying to avoid destruction, while follow-up bombardments targeted enemy positions. ”

Ali claims that recent NAF airstrikes have significantly slowed down terrorist activity in the area.
