The Syli Nationale of Guinea have eliminated the Super Eagles at the ongoing CHAN 2016 in Rwanda. The 1-0 victory at Umuganda Stadium, Gisenyi ensured the Guineans progress as the second best team in the group, while the Eagles will play no more part in the tournament.
Bangoura’s boys took the lead as Daouda Camara ease past the Nigeria’s defence to lay an assist for Ibrahim Sankhon who slotted into an empty net. Ibrahim Sankhon’s goal for Guinea ended an embarrassing first half for Sunday Oliseh’s boys with the biggest culprit being the Super Eagles bench who made a late minute substitution with minutes left to the end of the first half.
The Syli Nationale held on to their lead as they played more defensive with little attacking threat but the Super Eagles couldn’t break through despite the introduction of the team’s top-scorer Chisom Chikatara for Paul Onobi. FC Ifeanyi Ubah’s Bright Onyedikachi also came on for Tunde Adeniji in the second half, he came closer to get an equalizer for the Super Eagles but saw his effort parred off by the goalkeeper.
The Super Eagles were unable to grab an equalizer before the end of regular time to savour a point for qualification as they finished in the third position behind with 4 points behind leaders Tunisia with 5 points after beating Niger 5-0 in the last game.
