Nigeria avoided an embarrassing draw with Libya as Fisayo Dele-Bashiru scored an 86th-minute winner to seal a 1-0 victory in their 2025 AFCON qualifier at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium. Coach Austin Eguavoen shifted to a 4-3-3 formation, making several lineup changes. Despite dominating possession and creating multiple chances, the Super Eagles were consistently thwarted by Libya’s goalkeeper Murad Al Wuheeshi. Nigeria’s persistence paid off late when Dele-Bashiru converted Moses Simon’s assist to earn the crucial three points.
