Super Eagles Unleash Extra-Time Inferno, Pummel Gabon 4-1 in Rabat Redemption!

Talk about snatching victory from the jaws of a frustrating draw! Nigeria’s Super Eagles didn’t just win in Rabat; they authored a stunning, extra-time explosion that left Gabon’s World Cup dreams in tatters. The final scoreline reads 4-1, but that barely captures the heart-stopping drama.
For 90 minutes, it was a test of Nigerian persistence versus Gabonese defiance. The Eagles owned the ball, camped in Gabon’s half, but the breakthrough remained elusive until Akor Adams, our away-day hero, pounced in the 78th minute to seemingly settle the score.
Then came the sucker punch: Mario Lemina’s deflected equalizer in the 89th minute, a cruel twist of fate that dragged the contest into the dreaded extra time. The momentum should have been Gabon’s.

Instead, Coach Eric Chelle’s men flipped a switch and unleashed a ruthless attacking blitz. Chidera Ejuke broke the deadlock in the 97th minute with a moment of pure quality. But the real show belonged to the man tightly shackled all night: Victor Osimhen. The superstar striker exploded with two magnificent, quick-fire goals in the 102nd and 110th minutes—a devastating one-two punch that sealed a comprehensive 4-1 triumph.

The victory wasn’t just about goals; it was about depth. The substitutions, including Onyeka adding steel to the midfield, paid dividends as Nigeria steamrolled their opponents. The World Cup dream is now a searing reality check away, as the Eagles book their spot in the final playoff against either DR Congo or Cameroon. Bring on the decider!
