Raphael Onyedika scored twice as a much-changed Super Eagles of Nigeria thrashed 10-man Uganda 3-1 on Tuesday to end the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) with a perfect record.
The Club Brugge midfielder netted in the 62nd and 67th minutes of the clash in Fes after Paul Onuachu gave Nigeria the lead 28 minutes into the game.
With the win, the Super Eagles ended the group phase with nine points, having beaten Tanzania and Tunisia in their first and second matches, respectively.
Against the Cranes in Fes, Nigeria went ahead on 28 minutes through a well-constructed move that exploited space in the Ugandan defence.
A clever pass from Bruno Onyemaechi set up Fisayo Dele-Bashiru to deliver a low cross that Onuachu struck into the net despite being surrounded by three opponents.
