Follow all the action on Pulse Sports LIVE from Kigali as the Super Eagles take on the Rwanda in their second group game of the AFCON 2025 Qualifiers.
- 🚨FULL TIME IN KIGALI! RWANDA 0-0 NIGERIA: The Super Eagles created chances but….the same story as always. Regardless, full credit has to be given to the Rwandans for a dogged defensive display. Nigeria remain top of Group D after the draw against Rwanda in the AFCON 2025 qualifiers.
- 90+3’ RWA 0-0 NGA: A late change for the Super Eagles as Taiwo Awoniyi replaces Ademola Lookman. But what a performance from the Rwandan goalie Fiacre Ntwari..he has been rock solid for the hosts today.
- 90’ RWA 0-0 NGA: We’re into stoppage time now and Stanley Nwabali is receiving treatment.
- 88’ RWA 0-0 NGA: Frank Onyeka makes two brilliant tackles to create a goalscoring chance for Nigeria but again the Super Eagles just cannot find the back of the net. Wasteful really!
- 86’ RWA 0-0 NGA: CHANCE FOR RWANDA! Goodness me! What a save by Nwabali. The hosts nearly take the lead late in the game.
- 85’ RWA 0-0 NGA:Just five minutes to go here and as it stands, the Super Eagles might have to settle for a draw. There’s just no urgency and ruthlessness in front of goal today. None!
- 80’ RWA 0-0 NGA: 10 minutes to go here in Kigali. Still no way for the Super Eagles as Rwanda continue to defend on home turf. Will we get a breakthrough??
- 74’ RWA 0-0 NGA: That’s more like it from the Super Eagles! A barrage of attacks as Bruno Onyemaechi finds Victor Osimhen who sees his shot saved again. Nigeria pushing for the opener here against a stubborn Rwandan defence.
- 72’ RWA 0-0 NGA: Ademola Lookman (Nigeria) comes close to breaking the deadlock again but his right footed effort from the centre of the box is saved by the Rwanda goalkeeper.
- 70’ SUBSTITUTION (NIGERIA): Double substitution by Augustine Eguavoen as Frank Onyeka and Raphael Onyedika have come in to replace Ndidi and Dele-Bashiru. Hopefully, some fresh legs in the midfield can come in and offer better ideas in the attacking third. Still goalless here.
- 70’ RWA 0-0 NGA: We are into the final 20 minutes of this encounter. Still no goals to report. The Super Eagles have looked the likelier side to break the deadlockbut it hasn’t happened for Nigeria so far.
- 63’ RWA 0-0 NGA: Victor Osimhen’s header is saved after latching on to a cross by Ola Aina. The hosts look happy to just sit back and defend for some reason. Nigeria will still remain top of the group with a draw here.
- 62’ RWA 0-0 NGA: SUBSTITUTION (RWANDA)
- 61’ RWA 0-0 NGA: If you’re just joining us. You haven’t missed anything in this second half. It’s still goalless with less than 30 minutes to go and the Super Eagles aren’t showing any urgency.
- 60’ RWA 0-0 NGA: Just clocked the hour mark and we are still singing the same song. Chances come but nothing to show for it from the Super Eagles.
- 50’ RWA 0-0 NGA: Moses Simon should do better there! The Nantes winger misses a 1v1 chance and it’s out for a corner to the Super Eagles.
- 47’ SUBSTITUTION(NIGERIA): Austin Eguavoen has taken advantage of his arsenal of talent on the bench as Victor Osimhen and Moses Simon have come in to replace Victor Boniface and Samuel Chukwueze.
- 46’ 2ND HALF- RWA 0-0 NGA: So, we restart again here in Kigali. The Super Eagles just need to take their chances in the second period.
- 🚨HALF TIME IN KIGALI! RWANDA 0-0 NIGERIA: The Super Eagles created chances but weren’t clinical enough. Meanwhile, Rwanda have been really aggressive. At the break it still deadlocked.
- 45+3’ RWA 0-0 NGA: Yellow Card to Ola Aina.
- 45’ RWA 0-0 NGA: There will be 4 minutes of added time in this first half and it’s looking like the same storyline in Benin. The Super Eagles are creating chances but failing to convert.
- 43’ RWA 0-0 NGA: Djihad Bizimana (Rwanda) right footed shot from outside the box is saved by Nwabali in the top right corner.
- 37’ RWA 0-0 NGA: Victor Boniface nearly gives Nigeria the lead in Kigali. His attempt comes off the post. Unlucky!
- 30’ RWA 0-0 NGA: Just looking at that Lookman’s goal again. It really should have stood. But the Super Eagles have to find a way to break down the Rwandans here. The hosts have been aggressive so far.
- 29’ RWA 0-0 NGA: Djihad Bizimana gets a yellow card for a harsh tackle on Samuel Chukwueze. Mind you, Chukwueze was also shown a yellow card.
)
- 23’ GOAL DISALLOWED! RWA 0-0 NGA: Ademola Lookman scores but it’s somehow ruled out for a foul in the box. Looks like a clean goal from here and now there will be questions about the officiating.
- 22’ RWA 0-0 NGA: Ola Aina has been kept very busy with Rwanda causing problems on that left flank. The Super Eagles need to be careful at the back.
- 20’ RWA 0-0 NGA: Rwanda look really determined to get the opener here. So far in this contest, there’s only been one Corner kick, and it was awarded to the hosts.
- 17’ RWA 0-0 NGA: The Super Eagles have had 2 shots, with one on target, while Rwanda have managed 4 shots with neither failing to trouble Stanley Nwabali.
- 11’ RWA 0-0 NGA: Opening 10 minutes gone. Both sides have created chances but it remains goalless.
- 5’ RWA 0-0 NGA: First five minutes and no goals to tell you about. An early goal could certainly help either side’s chances here.
