Super Eagles wasted no time in taking the lead when Alex Iwobi smashed home a cross from Samuel Chukwueze less than two minutes into the game.
Victor Osimhen doubled the lead for Nigeria when he finished off a perfect cross from Zaidu Sanusi who made a strong run from deep.

That lead was quickly extended when Chukwueze raced on to a pass from Osimhen to finish with aplomb after taking out three Leone Stars defender.
