00:37What a night in Rabat.
00:39The Super Eagles of Nigeria have soared into the CAF playoff final of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
00:45And trust me, they did it in absolute style and swagger.
00:48It was fireworks from start to finish.
00:50Akor Adams opened the floodgates.
00:52Chidera Ajuke finally broke his Super Eagles duck.
00:55And the unstoppable Victor Osimin?
00:57Brew!
00:58He was on beast mode.
00:59Two goals, pure venom.
01:00Gabon just couldn't handle the pressure.
01:03Final score, Nigeria-Gabon.
01:06Eric Chella's men are through, and now the Eagles wait to see who's next.

01:28They said it couldn't be done.
01:30But the Super Eagles answered with fire.
01:33From Ndidi's masterclass pass to Ajuke's first international strike, and Osimin's hat trick of destiny.
01:39Nigeria rise from the storm, crushing Gabon 4-1 in Rabat.
01:42That's a great through ball.
01:45Victor Osimin on his right foot.
01:47Gets the shot, he gets the goal, Nigeria!
01:50Venues for this crunch playoff encounter between Nigeria.
01:53Well, it all comes down to this for Nigeria and Gabon.
01:59The first CAF playoff semi-final on the road to next year's World Cup.
02:04It is Duodai for these teams now.
02:09The winner of this one will...
02:11Iwobi looking for the ball over the top.
02:17It's a very attacking formation for the Nigerians with Angkor Adams.
02:22It came from Iwobi's ball over the top, initially.
02:30The clearance closed down.
02:32And Adams unable to...
02:38Iwobi lifting it in towards Osimin.
02:43He is...
02:44Outstanding in the air, Osimin.
02:47And he managed to divert the header down towards the bottom corner.
02:50It's a good save by Lois Marius Mbaba.
02:53Osimin was...
02:55Onside and got up above Bruno Ekweli-Monga.
02:59That's a great header.
03:00It's a really good stop.
03:02Very nearly 1-0 for Nigeria.
03:09First corner of the game.
03:21And Sankaluka absolutely up for this.
03:26Have to beat.
03:27There's a World Cup place on the line.
03:28It's a good sharp passing against me now.
03:32The Nigerians working the ball around nicely.
03:34Osimin driving into the penalty box.
03:36Brighton Osai, Samuel.
03:39Bursting forward in Sassi.
03:40Every outfield player for Nigeria in the Gabon half of the field.
03:46Zaidu Senussi.
03:46Lookman turns and plays the cross towards Osimin.
03:51Again, he wins the ball in the air.
03:53And again, it's a brilliant save from the Gabon goalkeeper.
03:57Now then...
03:58And some of these Nigerian players, are they suggesting that they thought that ball had crossed the line?
04:05And it's a good shot.
04:09And that's a good thing.
04:11You can see better from this angle, perhaps.
04:12Lutmann's cross, Aussie men's header and it is then a bizarre combination of ricochets in the
04:24six-yard box off a couple of Gabon defenders sending the ball spinning back towards the line
04:28and Lois-Marius Zimbabwe again brilliant reflexes to get down and tip that ball away
04:35it's thanks to him that the Panthers of Gabon remain on level terms here
04:39Filling it into the path of Buanga from the ankle
05:02it's a good block Danny Buanga trying his luck maybe Aubameyang could have
05:10released that ball a little bit sooner
05:14just didn't tell
05:21oh you know
05:26good to play it's a teammate Openda, nice touch on Openda
05:32and he took the wrong option, Royce Openda
05:37full
05:38five substitutes still available to each coach and if we go to extra time another substitution
05:47could be made then Gabon get us underway then in the second half here in Rapa
05:52this first calf
06:00full kick whipped in and all the way across the face of goal
06:06it's come off the defender now what's the referee giving here Mario Lumina and Ekweli Munga
06:12Gabon players I think clearly indicating they feel there was a shout for a penalty in there it
06:20looks like Aaron Apindangoi the number two is possibly having his shirt pulled
06:25all eyes on the referee
06:42look sure that the Gabon players surrounding him is going to influence his decision
06:46it's uh this is being checked by VAR
07:01the World Cup dream could stay alive for only one of these teams
07:10at the end of this game today but it may well require extra time even penalties
07:16now then this could be the chance for the Nigerians gifted to them
07:21and they've taken it Akor Adams turning the ball in
07:26it's a disaster for Gabon and the Super Eagles are ahead
07:34a point in 0
07:43now horrible horrible moment for Aaron Apindangoi in for Gabon
07:46for Arna Pindangoye and for Gabon and all credit to Akkor Adams for keeping a cool head in that
07:56situation well there was no pressure whatsoever on the defender here he had a bit of time too
08:05much time in the end to make his mind up and just playing that ball into the danger zone
08:10leaving the goalkeeper completely stranded and the Sevilla striker Akkor Adams who scored on Super
08:18Eagles debut Steen stage of which they've appeared three times Lamina with the shot it's gone in it's
08:25taken a deflection Gabon on a level in the 89th minute
08:30by incredible scenes here it looked like Gabon's
08:41World Cup dream had died after Akkor Adams put Nigeria in front with time running out but
08:49now it appears that they've forced extra time
08:52with a little bit of luck Nwabali making the gesture to point out that he was beaten by the
09:02deflection just a hopeful long ball forward it came off the head of Osai Samuel and there's the
09:07shot from Mario Lamina one of Gabon's most experienced players almost certainly would
09:15not have gone in without that deflection the lucky break they were looking for Mario Lamina of Galatasaray
09:31makes it Nigeria one Gabon one and there's still some way to go in this playoff semi-final
09:45it's nicely worked
09:53Ndidi coming forward it's a nicely measured ball as well and Nigeria have that second goal
10:01really well played and a really cool composed finish from Chidera Ejuke
10:07well Nigeria could have won it right at the end of injury time they've kept their heads up
10:22and they have that second goal now
10:30celebrations in the stands and I'm sure celebrations back in Nigeria all over the country as well
10:37in the stands and I'm sure they've kept their heads up
10:38collective sigh of relief maybe too
10:43great play by Ndidi perfectly measured ball
10:46and Dejuke the second half substitute just picking his spot low in the corner
10:55maybe an unlikely hero for the super eagles the Seville winger who'd never scored for his country before
11:01celebrates in style it's Nigeria two Gabon one
11:18not doing things the easy way in this qualifying campaign the Nigerians
11:22it's really well played by Frederic Ozymen from the ankle Victor Ozymen he's found the corner
11:33that's more like it than the super eagles superstar who rips off his shirt in celebration the mask is gone
11:40and after that unlikely miss at the end of normal time well that is surely the goal
11:56that sends Nigeria into the playoff final
12:10and you have to say huge credit to the young defender Benjamin Frederick talk about defending
12:14on the front foot charging forward into the opposition half of the field and giving it to Ozymen
12:21inside the box a really superbly taken goal from such a tight angle
12:28the Galatasaray man makes it Nigeria three Gabon one
12:34it's really hard to see Gabon coming back from this
12:37the Nigerians have the wind in their sails and their biggest star
12:50Ozymen again once more from the angle it's another goal for Ozymen
13:08and that is that
13:094-1 for Nigeria
13:23well you did wonder how they would react in extra time after that incredible miss of his
13:31we've seen the answer and you have to take your hat off to them collectively
13:35and to Victor Ozymen individually
13:42and once again he finds the corner bringing that ball down superbly
13:49just bulldozing his way through
13:53fantastic from a brilliant striker
13:56what a response from him
14:02whoo it's not finished and it's in
14:08whoo it's not finished and it's in
