Updated: Ighalo’s late goal saves Nigeria against hard fighting Burundi at AFCON 2019
The Super Eagles of Nigeria needed a late goal from substitute Odion Ighalo to claim a 1-0 victory over a stubborn and hard fighting Burundi side playing their first-ever match at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) on Saturday.
It was tough on Burundi who refused to be overawed and enjoyed slightly the better of the first half with Frederic Nsabiyumva heading against the crossbar from a set-piece.
Nigeria took control after halftime but were struggling to create chances until Aina’s moment of inspiration finally unlocked the Burundi defence.
