Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>Match report and highlights as Nigeria qualify for the last 16 of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations after 3-1 victory over Sudan; goals from Samuel Chukwueze, Taiwo Awoniyi and Moses Simon help the Super Eagles to maintain their 100 per cent record<\/p>\n

Nigeria have qualified for the last 16 of the Africa Cup of Nations after a comfortable 3-1 win over Sudan to make it two from two in Group D. An early goal from Villarreal forward Samuel Chukwueze provided a positive start for the three-time champions before Taiwo Awoniyi got their second on the stroke of half-time at the Roumd\u00e9 Adjia Stadium in Garoua.<\/p>\n

It took Moses Simon just 30 seconds of the second half to add a third, but Sudan pulled a goal back with a fortuitous penalty, converted by Walieldin Khedr with 20 minutes left.<\/p>\n

Nigeria now have six points from their opening two games, after beating Egypt on Tuesday, while Sudan have one point. The Super Eagles will face a third-placed side in the last 16 if they can win Group D.<\/p>\n

The tournament, originally scheduled to be played in June and July 2021, will be played in Cameroon between January 9 and February 6, 2022, with Sky Sports showing all 52 games live.<\/p>\n
