Chan Eagles wins a little pride with the victory over the Congo

Tonight, the Chan Eagles rescued a little pride after beating the 2-0 Congo in their last group game of 2024 Chan.

Nigeria finished third in group D with three points of so many games, while Sudan won the group with five points after a goalless draw with the Senegal defenders.

Congo finished the bottom of the classification with two points.

The Remo Stars striker, Sikiru Alimi, was the winner of the game, since he provided assistance for the first goal before he himself gave the murderous blow to the detention time.

NPFL Hotshot for last season Anas Yusuf justified his first beginning in this tournament when he put Nigeria ahead in 56^th Minute, when he fed from an alimi header.

In the detention time, the diving heading Alimi doubled the advantage of the Eagles at home after the Congo had reduced to 10 men after the dismissal of Atipo for the dangerous game in the remote Stars.

The teenage goalkeeper Ebenezer Harcourt enjoyed his senior debut, since he was not worried during the entire duration of this contest.

Nigeria deserved his victory, since they played without pressure to score their first goals from the competition, as well as register their first points.

Chan Eagles starting Xi: Harcourt – Sodiq, Taiwo, Manyo, Nduka (Captain) – Tochukwu, Adedayo, Akanni (Haruna Hadi 90), Oyowah – Yusuf, Alimi (Obaso 90)
