From the 11th minute, the Galatasaray striker deceived Fiacre Ntwari and opened the scoring. A real poison for the defense of Amavubi, the best African player 2023 has doubled before half-time. The score will not change. After three draws and a defeat, Nigeria finally won its first victory in this qualifying phase. The Super Eagles now occupy 4th place in group C with 6 points.

Group B
RD Congo 1-0 South Sudan
But: T. Bongonda (45+3)
The Martyrs stadium had adorned itself with its most beautiful colors to accommodate South Sudan.

Goals: J.TIENDREBÉOGO (12th), B. Traoré (33rd), M. Zougrana (47th), L. Traoré (67th) for Burkina Faso; S. Akinbinu (88th p) for Djibouti
In El Jadida, Morocco, where Burkina Faso settled down, Josué Tiendrébéogo launched the stallions against Djibouti. Annecy’s attacking midfielder took advantage of the opposing defensive flaws to open the scoring. Bertrand Traoré imitated it in the 33rd minute, thus doubling the advantage of his family. Back from the locker room, the men of Brama Traoré maintained a high intensity. Mohamed Zougrana deceived the Djiboutian goalkeeper, thus propelling West Africans to orbit. In the 67th minute, Lassina Traoré added a new achievement, consolidating the domination of Burkina Faso. Djibouti reacted late, and it was in the 88th minute that Souleiman Akinbinu converted a penalty, reducing the gap, but too late to change the course of the match.
Thanks to this victory, the Burkinabè climb to second place in group A, which they share with the Sierraleonais, who also have 8 points.
