Nigeria suffered a shocking defeat to the Central African Republic in the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying match on Thursday evening.

The Super Eagles who were clear favourites to win the Group C encounter in Lagos were beaten by the Central African Republic team by a lone goal scored within the stoppage-time of the game.

The goal came from substitute Karl Namnganda, who plays in the French fourth tier for Les Herbiers in the 91st minute.
