Nigerian Super Eagle played a 1 –
1 draw with African champions Cameroon for the 2018 World Cup finals in Russia
in Yaounde on Monday, 4th September, 2917.
The result means Cameroon have
just three points from four matches and can no longer finish top of Group B.
Nigeria took the lead after 30
minutes through Moses Simon after the ball broke to him in the area. Cameroon equalised in the 75th minute
as substitute Vincent Aboubakar scored from the penalty spot.
The other fourth round match in this
group sees Algeria host Zambia in Constantine on Tuesday 5th
September, 2017. A win for Zambia will take them to seven points just three
behind Nigeria with two games to play while Algeria must win to keep alive any
slim hopes they still have of going to Russia. Zambia will cut the gap to the leaders tomorrow if
they are able to defeat Algeria but Nigeria remains firmly in control.
Nigeria lead the group with 10 points, followed by Zambia on
four points. Cameroon boost of three points while Algeria have only one point
from three matches.
Cameroon host Algeria next in October while Nigeria
take on the visiting Zambia.
