Arguably,one of the tournament favorites Nigeria took group A lowest team and thrashed them 1 goal to nil. An own-goal by defender Opa Sangante, who lunged in to stop the ball reaching an unmarked Victor Osimhen after 36 minutes, was enough to separate the two teams in a game that was far more evenly-matched that their respective rankings would have suggested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read Also:<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/igamingafrika.com\/webinars\/jobs-in-gaming-exploring-opportunities-for-africans-in-the-igaming-industry-webinar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jobs in Gaming: Exploring Opportunities for Africans in the iGaming Industry in Africa &#8211; Webinar<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> The Super Eagles had the best of the chances, with Osimhen the constant threat. They had two goals disallowed, both due to handballs by the Napolis centre-forward. Additionally, the loss saw Guinea Bissau clash out of the tournament after playing and losing three out of three games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;The win put Nigeria second on the table after Equatorial Guinea which is ahead on goal difference. Due to this, the Super Eagles face the second-placed team in Group C, which will be one of Cameroon, Senegal or Guinea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Karboubi is among the seven Moroccan referees that the Confederation of African Football (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/feed\/hashtag\/?keywords=caf&amp;highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7155225481020096513\">#CAF<\/a>) appointed to officiate at the ongoing continental tournament in Cote d\u2019Ivoire.
