World Cup qualifying: South Africa clinch place ahead of Nigeria but dream remains alive for Super Eagles
"Nigeria cruised to a dominant 4-0 win, thanks to a Victor Osimhen hat-trick and a late strike from Frank Onyeka. The Super Eagles made a blistering start in Abuja, taking the lead inside four minutes when Osimhen finished neatly from Samuel Chukwueze's pass. The Napoli striker doubled the advantage before half-time with another header, again assisted by Chukwueze, to put Nigeria firmly in control at the break."
"South Africa produced a commanding display to beat Rwanda 3-0 and secure qualification. The hosts struck early when Thalente Mbatha fired a superb right-footed shot into the top corner from distance after just five minutes. Their relentless attacking play soon paid off again, as Oswin Appollis doubled the lead midway through the first half with a clinical finish, set up by Evidence Makgopa after a flowing move."
South Africa secured one of the final African World Cup qualification spots by beating Rwanda 3-0, finishing top of Group C by a single point. Thalente Mbatha opened the scoring with a long-range right-footed strike after five minutes. Oswin Appollis doubled the lead midway through the first half following a flowing move set up by Evidence Makgopa. Evidence Makgopa added a late header to seal the win. Nigeria won 4-0 against Benin as Victor Osimhen scored a first-half brace and completed a second-half hat-trick, with Frank Onyeka adding a stoppage-time goal. Rwanda had a late chance when Abeddy Biramahire hit the post, but South Africa controlled the match overall.
