Nigeria Super Eagles continues as they were beaten 2-1 by Benin Republic in match day four duel of the World Cup qualifying series. Thus, the Super Eagles have played four matches without a win. It is the first time ever that has happened in 64 years of featuring in World Cup qualifying
Nigeria went into the match days 3 and 4 with the hope of getting the obtainable six points. In the end, they barely laboured to get one point. Benin on the other hand got their six full points.
From coaching to players’ performances, everything went awry for Super Eagle.

While the possibility of Super Eagles winning the group is very remote, picking a second place to go into a tortuous play-off series that will involve four best second placed teams among nine.
