The Super Eagles of Nigeria have qualified for the quarter finals of the ongoing 2019 African Cup of Nations in Egypt after edging past Cameroon 3-2 in an explosive encounter Saturday evening.
Odion Ighalo put the Eagles ahead early in the first half but the Cameroonians hit back with a double to go ahead just before the intervals.
Nigeria, however came out smoking in the second half and a quick fire double from Ighalo and Alex Iwobi restored the Super Eagles’ lead.
The Nigerian side held on to see off the difficult Cameroonians and into the quarter-finals of the competition.
