The Super Eagles now stay at the top of their group standings as they endured a scare in Tunisia to claim a third consecutive victory.
An Odion Ighalo-inspired Nigeria secured a 3-2 victory over Libya to move to the top of Group E in their 2019 African Cup of Nations qualifiers in Sfax.
South Africa’s goalless draw against Seychelles earlier in Tuesday had opened up the chance for the Super Eagles to move into a commanding position in the log and Ighalo’s clinical showing helped the west Africans’ hold off a much improved Meditteranean Knights side.
