Nigeria has advanced to the AFCON quarter finals after sending
home the cup holders Cameroon with a 3-3 defeat in Alexandria Stadium.
Odion Ighalo scored twice and Alex Iwobi’s winning goal
seals Cameroun’s fate of staying in the Africa Cup of Nations champions.
Nigeria boss Gernot Rohr paid the price for resting key
players in the shock 2-0 loss to Madagascar, with Wilfred Ndidi, Kenneth Omeruo
and Alex Iwobi all returning to the starting line-up.
Nigeria’s Super Eagles eliminated Cameroon in the first
knockout round the last time they were reigning champions in 2004.
