Samba dance in Abuja as Mama Samba Balde gives Guinea-Bissau a shock win against Nigeria.

  • The Super Eagles can, however, earn their revenge in the reverse fixture on Monday. That's it from me. Till I come your way on Monday, bye for now.
  • Nigeria 0-1 Guinea-Bissau. The result means the Wild Dogs go top of group A with seven points, one ahead of Nigeria.

  • Full-time. Nigeria 0-1 Guinea-Bissau. It's the Samba dance in Abuja as Guinea-Bissau secure a famous win over Nigeria. 
  • Nigeria 0-1 Guinea-Bissau. Five minutes of added time. Three minutes gone already
  • Nigeria 0-1 Guinea-Bissau. The chances keep coming for Nigeria but a series of indecision keep failing the team. I don't think there is a goal for Nigeria in this game. 
  • Nigeria 0-1 Guinea-Bissau. This has been a disappointing performance from Chukwueze. He has been put in some promising position, but for some strange reasons, he keeps cutting onto his left. Meanwhile, Onyeka comes on for Ndidi. 
  • Nigeria 0-1 Guinea-Bissau. Big chance for the Super Eagles as Chukwueze sets up Simon. However, the Nantes' winger could not hit the target from inside the box. 
  • Nigeria 0-1 Guinea-Bissau. The Super Eagles have started the second half on the front foot but no clear chances. On a positive note, Bright Osayi-Samuel has been brilliant on the right. 
  • 45' Nigeria 0-1 Guinea-Bissau. Second half underway, with Moses Simon and Paul Onuachu coming on for Ademola Lookman and Kelechi Iheanacho
  • Halftime: Nigeria 0-1 Guinea-Bissau. The fans may not be many in the stadium, but Nigerians are letting their views known on social media. 
  • Halftime- Nigeria 0-1 Guinea-Bissau: Mama Samba Balde's brilliant finish is what separates the two teams.  Big 45 minutes up next for the Super Eagles.
  • Nigeria 0-1 Guinea-Bissau. There are suggestions Nigeria do not feel comfortable on the pitch, which is true. But Guinea-Bissau are also playing on the same pitch. 
  • Nigeria 0-1 Guinea-Bissau: Big chance for Djurtus to double their advantage. Dalcio showed great skill to beat Calvin Bassey and Uzoho but he was nonchalant with his finish. A big let off for Nigeria. 
  • Nigeria 0-1 Guinea-Bissau- The Wild Dogs have always looked dangerous anytime they venture forward, and this time they made it count. Mama Samba Balde did brilliantly to control a long ball before slotting past Francis Uzoho. What a goal.
  • 30' Nigeria 0-1 Guinea-Bissau- Mama Samba Balde
  • 29' Nigeria 0-0 Guinea-Bissau: The Super Eagles tempo have gone down, with Guinea-Bissau growing in belief.
  • Nigeria 0-0 Guinea-Bissau: Big chance for the Super Eagles as Iheanacho plays in Osimhen, but the Napoli man's first touch let him down, allowing Guinea-Bissau to make a save. Nigeria going close again.
  • Nigeria 0-0 Guinea-Bissau: The atmosphere in the stadium is not that lively, but there is passion when the anthem comes up. 
  • Nigeria 0-0 Guinea-Bissau: The Super Eagles have been all over Djurtus in the opening ten minutes but nothing to show for it. Promising signs though.
  •  Nigeria 0-0 Guinea Bissau: The Super Eagles, surprisingly in their white colours, are dominating the early possession.
  • Kickoff!!! Nigeria 0-0 Guinea-Bissau
  • Nigeria vs Guinea-Bissau: Nigeria are also the clear favourites this time but not many Nigerians are interested in the game. So what could be the reason? This article explains it 
  • Nigeria vs Guinea-Bissau: This is the second time the two teams will face each other after they met in last year's Africa Cup of Nations. The Super Eagles were triumphant on that occasion, winning 2-0. 
  • Nigeria vs Guinea-Bissau: The lineup is out, with Super Eagles coach Jose Peseiro going for his preferred 4-4-2 formation.  Osimhen and Iheanacho lead the line but there is not place for Moses Simon. Wilfred Ndidi is the team's captain today.

  • Nigeria vs Guinea-Bissau: The Super Eagles will be hoping to make it three wins out of three from their group this evening, having beaten Sierra Leone and Sao Tome and Principe in the first two games.
