Uganda 1-3 Nigeria: Africa Cup of Nations 2025 – live reaction

Welcome all!Nigeria are already through to the round of 16 following two victories over Tunisia and Tanzania, and are bidding to reach the knockout stages with a perfect record, something that they have only achieved once before. Uganda are bottom of Group C with one point but a win here would – at the very least – mean that they qualify as one of the best third-placed finishers. The east African side actually have a better head-to-head record than the Super Eagles, winning four and drawing two of their eight clashes, so are something of a bogey team for Nigeria.Éric Chelle also has something of a dilemma for selection, with Nigeria captain Wilfred Ndidi, talisman Victor Osimhen, Semi Ajayi and goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali all just one booking away from getting suspended for the last-16 match if they pick up another yellow card here. Both Southampton flop Paul Onuachu and former Rangers striker Cyriel Dessers are contenders to potentially replace Osimhen here.

Key Highlights

  • But a much-changed side could throw off some of the momentum built up so far in Morocco – the 3-2 win over Tunisia – who scored two late goals – did show some signs of complacency for Nigeria and Chelle will want to avoid that in their final group game. Kick-off: 4pm GMT.
