13:13
completesportsnigeria

1
12:53
completesportsnigeria
62' - Okpotu is sacrificed for Abdulahi Musa with Nigeria needing to defend their goal. It's a long way to go for the Super Eagles





0
12:51
completesportsnigeria
60' - Sudan's Omer is also yellow carded. Game is very physical now





0
12:51
completesportsnigeria
58' - Red card for Ifeanyi Ifeanyi, a second yellow card for dangerous tackle. I saw that coming



Nigeria now reduced to 10 men with a goal to defend for over half an hour

57' - Tackles flying but quality of the football has dropped considerably





0
12:43
completesportsnigeria
51' - Hashim is yellow-carded for dangerous play on Okechukwu. Bit of frustration setting in for the Sudanese





0
12:41
completesportsnigeria
50' - Extended periods of possession by Nigeria. Running rings round Sudan who have been prevented from largely playing their usually compact game.





0
12:41
completesportsnigeria
48' - It's same of the same, Nigeria continuing first half tactics which has served very well. The long balls still trouble Sudan

HT: Sudan 0-1 Nigeria

45+4 Okpotu attempts to set up Okechukwu but his touch is a tad heavy. 60 seconds left to play in this half





0
12:18
completesportsnigeria
45+2 Desperate defending by Nigeria.





1
12:16
completesportsnigeria
45+1 Five minutes added for the lengthy treatment to Ezenwa and other stoppages. Fair enough





0
12:16
completesportsnigeria
44' - Point-blank save by Ajiboye who practically hauled the ball out of the net with a desperate left hand. Nigeria just lucky to hold their lead

0
12:14
completesportsnigeria
43' - Sudan have been slightly dominant in the last few minutes but Nigeria must take this lead into the interval

39' - Injury scare for Okechukwu who limps to the sidelies for treatment. he's back on the pitch.





0
12:05
completesportsnigeria
35' - Sudan breaks with a lovely cross-field pass but the final delivery was nodded just inches from the crossbar by Saifeldin who's been quiet all game





0
12:04
completesportsnigeria
33' - Another long ball tries to find Okechukwu but Bakri scrambles it away for a corner.





0
12:03
completesportsnigeria
32' - Rabiu Ali tries a speculative long ball but it goes over the bar.





0
11:59
completesportsnigeria
28' - Nigeria employs the long kick forward once again but Sudan deal with it without much fuss.

The Super Eagles have had the better chances and more possession, coach Salisu Yusuf's strategy giving Sudan much to worry about





0
11:56
completesportsnigeria
25' - So far Rabiu Ali has been peerless, hardly getting any foot wrong.

Gabriel nearly gets a second but he drags his shot wide





0
11:53
completesportsnigeria
23' - Corner for Sudan but wasted.





0
11:52
completesportsnigeria
21' - The Nigerian strategy is simple but so far effective. Get the ball and hit it over the Sudanese defence, hoping the fast forwards will get there first. Working well so far

11:50
completesportsnigeria
20' - Nigeria 1-0 Sudan





0
11:49
completesportsnigeria
19' - Okpotu nearly makes it two, another thorough ball to him but he hits it straight at the body of the on-rushing goalkeeper

11:48
completesportsnigeria
17' - It's the first time Sudan have gone behind in this competition and just the second goal they're conceding. How will they react? We have 70 minutes plus to find out

16' - Goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Nigeria 1-0 Sudan



Okechuckwu latches on to a pass and calmly slots past Akram in goal for Sudan. Lovely kbock down by Okpotu

16' - Hearts-stopping moment as Sudan threatens with the first real attack of the game.

12' - Forced substitution for Nigeria. Inspirational captain Ezenwa goes off for Ajiboye.





0
11:42
completesportsnigeria
Ajiboye, former Golden Eaglets goalkeeper is with current League champions Plateau United.





0
11:42
completesportsnigeria
10' - Moment of apprehension for Nigeria. Ezenwa still not looking good. He's to be stretchered off. Ajiboye Oladele is coming on to take his place.





0
11:40
completesportsnigeria
Not looking good for Nigeria. Ezenwa stands up but immediately lies flat on his back.





0
11:40
completesportsnigeria
7' - Ezenwa is still being treated but one must say he was quick-thinking to rush out in timely fashion. He was Man of the Match in the last game after pulling incredible saves. Will this be another night of Ezenwa heroics?

0
11:37
completesportsnigeria
6' - Timely save by Ezenwa as Aagla sneaks in behind the sloppy defence. Ezenwa is knocked in the process and is getting medical attention.

11:36

5' - Nigeria makes some beautiful quick interchange of passes but are cut short before they could do much harm.

0
11:34
completesportsnigeria
2 - Nigeria is opting for a 4-4-2 formation, an indication of what coach Salisu Yusuf expects from the game. He's started the two goalscorers from the last match against Angola, Okpotu and Okechukwu





0
11:32
completesportsnigeria
2' - Sudan have a mean defence. They have conceded just one goal in four games so far. Nigeria must produce something special to break them down
