Super Eagles have qualified for the quarter finals of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) after overcoming the Cameroonian challenge.

The Nigerians raced to the lead through Odion Ighalo in the 19th minute of the game and surrendered their first-half lead to the Indomitable Lions who netted two quickfire goals.

The Man of the Match Ighalo’s shot from inside the box was deflected beyond Andre Onana after Omeruo laid in a cross into the area from the right.

Stephane Bahoken, son of Indomitable Lions legend Paul Bahoken, leveled for Cameroon in the 40th minute when he tapped in simply from a yard out after Nigerian keeper Daniel kpayi failed to pick out a Christian Bassogog cross from the left, while Clinton Njie shot the Cameroonians into the lead.

Njie latched on to a long ball from skipper Eric Choupo-Moting before beating Kenneth Omeruo for power and finishing with a strong low effort from inside the box.

Ighalo completed his brace in the 62nd minute beating the offside trap and sweeping the ball past Onana after Musa had done well to chest down Collins Awaziem’s cross from the right.

Arsenal forward handed the Super Eagles victory in the 66th minute.
