Super Eagles coach, Eric Chelle, is “happy over the team’s win” against Rwanda in a 2026 World Cup qualifier, which gave the team “a glimmer of hope in their qualification journey.”
Tolu Arokodare scored the only goal of the match.
In a post-match briefing, the Malian coach praised his team’s performance, stating, “I’m happy about the three points. I’m happy about the way the team played in the first half because we had 70% of the possession, and because of that, Rwanda was tired, and this is why in the second half, they didn’t press us when we scored the goal.”

Chelle said the win gives the team confidence ahead of their next match against South Africa.
He told the gathering, “So now we are happy because we won 1-0. And we can go to South Africa with a lot of ambitions.”
The coach also confirmed that star striker Victor Osimhen limped off with an injury and will undergo a scan to determine the extent of the concern.
The win takes Nigeria to “third on the Group C log,” six points behind South Africa, as they prepare for the “Bafana Bafana” and the rest of the matches in the qualification race.
