Super Eagles midfielder Fisayo Dele-Bashiru’s 85th-minute strike helped Nigeria edged Libya 1-0 in a 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match.

The Super Eagles wasted several clear-cut chances afterwards before Dele-Bashiru fired home the winning goal five minutes from time after converting a cross from Moses Simon.

The win keeps Nigeria top of Group D with seven points from their first three matches after Benin walloped Rwanda 3-0. The Super Eagles travel to Benghazi on Tuesday, and another win almost guarantees a place at the 2025 tournament in Morocco.
