Live commentary: Rwanda vs Nigeria – AFCON 2025 qualifiers showdown in Kigali

Welcome to live coverage of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying clash between the Super Eagles of Nigeria and the Amavubi of Rwanda at the Stade Amahoro in Kigali.

Nigeria, fresh off a dominant 3-0 win against Benin in their opening match, will be looking to maintain their momentum and secure back-to-back victories.

However, Rwanda, with their passionate home support, will be determined to bounce back after dropping points in their 1-1 draw against Libya.

For both teams, the stakes couldn’t be higher. A win for the Super Eagles would take them one step closer to qualification, while Rwanda will be eager to claim their first victory in Group D and make a strong push for the top of the table.
