00:00...repeat of one of the most important cults in their history,
00:05and they beat Nigeria 2-0 in the 2019 AFCON Finals.
00:14That's Calvin Fassi and Alex Awobi of always London Club Fulham.
00:20.
00:26Chukwueze through the gap, trying to find Liverpool.
00:39Nearly a sight of gold for the Super Eagles.
00:44.
00:45Samuel Chukwueze nearly finding the perfect ball.
00:51.
00:52.
00:52.
00:52.
00:52.
00:53.
00:53.
00:53.
00:53.
00:54.
01:12.
01:13.
01:13.
01:13.
01:13.
01:13.
01:21It is Kari.
01:23.
01:24An absolute gift, a free header.
01:28The short corner in the end working out superbly.
01:35It's a great ball in from Ponte.
01:37He seems onside.
01:41And all that was left to do was head the ball.
01:47Rahirinha having a decent game on this left-hand side.
01:54Ponte takes his curse.
01:57As he gives away the foul against Olaaheina.
02:02Good well to track back.
02:21Blocked.
02:24Hakeem does well, but it's still with Nigeria.
02:28Can they make the pressure play?
02:30Iwobi.
02:31Great ball from Iwobi.
02:33And indeed he just took it off the head of George Iwobi.
02:49Iwobi.
03:01Iwobi.
03:04Iwobi.
03:05...took his time with it, and in the end, it's a good save from Jordan Dupre.
03:12Thought he'd hit it on the first, instead he tried to cut inside.
03:19Perhaps snatched at it.
03:22Nice move from the Super Eagles.
03:36Couturier trying to leave it to Hakim.
03:45And a chance just before half-time, and it's in!
03:50The panic is over, the Super Eagles have scored.
03:58And it is a goal for a George in again.
04:09A sense of relief.
04:17And Nigeria draw level.
04:26His first game for the national side.
04:32And George Illichiena scores on his debut.
04:37In to replace an injured Victor Oshiman.
04:42And it's only taken him 45 minutes to open his account for the Super Eagles.
04:52Madagascar's first half-scare.
04:55But Nigeria have recovered.
04:59Now he opens his international account.
05:02And that is how he will leave it.
05:041-0 as we head into the break.
05:07Madagascar put up an impressive performance, but in the end,
05:11a sucker punch for them just before the break.
05:14Illichiena scoring his first goal for his country.
05:19A relief.
05:23And we are underway then.
05:25The second-half action commences.
05:30Madagascar will have to rethink their tactical approach while Nigeria
05:33will most likely come at them much harder than they did in the first half.
05:38You never really know what's going back with Clermont Couturier now.
05:42Does well to keep the ball with Madagascar.
05:44Ponte, there's tons of space out on that far side.
05:47If you can find it, there's a man over now.
05:49This is a huge chance.
05:50Madagascar, one-on-one.
05:52This for two.
05:53It's a great chance.
05:58Sloppy from Nigeria.
05:59Madagascar.
06:00My chance now, coming forwards on the right.
06:05As here come Nigeria.
06:07Lookman stabs it over the bar.
06:36And it is still one-oo.
06:39A yellow card being given to Adam Ola-Lukman for a cynical foul as Madagascar tried to come forwards.
06:50I think that is a fair decision from referee Mahmat.
06:58It's into the book for the full-back to run into, it's Mathia.
07:04Hakim gets the shot away, had options, but he wins his side, an all-important corner.
07:15Tushin is in the offing as well, the ball's played in, it's cleared away, and a chance to run in
07:23now.
07:29We saw Moses is still on the ball.
07:33Moses into the box, he's done really well, Moses!
07:38Run foot to the goalkeeper, and Nigeria have turned things around.
07:47A good run from the substitute shortly after entering the pitch.
07:59And a sense of relief washes over the Super Eagles and their fans.
08:08Dupre is unlucky to be beaten.
08:12It's a good strike.
08:15And it wrong-foots him at the near post.
08:20There's more substitutions for Nigeria, including Taiwo Wonny.
08:27But great work, the substitute making it pay.
08:32Nigeria back on track.
08:51two-one.
08:52The hosts have turned it around.
08:54Two-one.
08:56Two-one.
08:57The hosts have turned it around.
08:57And Moses, who saw?
09:02Sloppy knock there from Mathieu
09:04Gives the ball straight back
09:05Iwobi picks out
09:07Chance
09:08Hits the post
09:16Arokodore
09:17Off the bench
09:18Seizes strike
09:20First
09:22Addition will be to take this throw in
09:24For the Super Eagles
09:25As they head toward three points
09:28After a bit of a scare early on
09:32Both players go down
09:35I think you saw Moses
09:36Thought he'd won the free kick for a second
09:40In the end it is given in favor
09:42Of Morgan Jean-Pierre
09:46As the referee explains
09:53Why he came to the decision
09:56Fibro
10:02And the full time whistle goes
10:04Nigeria
10:05After a scare in the first half
10:08Come through
10:082-1 winners
10:09To get their AFCON qualifying campaign
10:12Off to a good start
10:14Flashes of brilliance from Madagascar
10:16They played a proactive game
10:18But in the end the quality of Nigeria
10:20Shone through that little bit more
10:25The goal
10:26From Uso Moses
10:28In the second half
10:29Defining the result
10:34The goal
10:35This morning
10:39The goal
10:41was to get a job
10:41To get a job
10:41To get a job
10:41To get the right
10:41To get a job
10:42To get a job
