The outcome sends a clear message to Super Eagles head coach Eric Sekou Chelle that the midfield requires urgent attention ahead of the team’s subsequent qualifiers.. Despite securing their first win of the campaign with a brace from Victor Osimhen, Nigeria’s midfield struggled to dictate play consistently, with Rwanda creating dangerous moments, particularly in the second half.. Osimhen’s double in Kigali ensured Nigeria moved up to fourth place in Group C with six points, trailing leaders South Africa by four points. With Benin Republic and Rwanda sitting in second and third place, respectively, Chelle’s men will need to build momentum as they prepare to face Zimbabwe in Uyo on Tuesday, March 25.. While the Super Eagles’ attack was clinical and the defence relatively solid, the overwhelming vote for midfield improvement suggests that fans are concerned about ball control, creativity, and transitions between defence and attack. Chelle will now have a crucial decision to make in strengthening the midfield to boost Nigeria’s qualification hopes.
