Nigeria have been eliminated from the ongoing African Nations Championship, CHAN, after a 4-0 drubbing in the hands of Sudan on Tuesday.
In doing so, Sudan have climbed to the top of Group D and dumping the Super Eagles out of the tournament with a game to spare.
Abdel Raouf Yagoub, Sudan’s creative heartbeat, struck twice in the second half to add to Leonard Ngenge’s nightmare own goal and Walieldin Khdir’s emphatic penalty.
It sealed what coach Kwesi Appiah called “a disciplined, ruthless display that stuck to our plan from the first whistle to the last.”
“We were disciplined without the ball, fast in transition and ruthless in the box.
“Against a team like Nigeria, you can’t afford to switch off. Tonight, the boys executed perfectly,” Appiah said, according to a post match report on the CAF website.
