Nigeria’s Super Eagles have qualified for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON holding in Cameroon next year.

The Gernot Rohr-led lads booked their place in the two-year event after Sierra Leone held Lesotho to a barren draw on Friday.

The result leaves Super Eagles with 8 points four ahead of 3rd-placed Sierra Leone and 1 point ahead of Benin Republic.

Eagles will later this evening battle the Squirrels of Benin in Pot Novo and will take on the bottom-placed Lesotho on Tuesday next week
