World Cup Qualifiers: Nigeria Thrash Cameroon 4 – 0

The Super Eagles of Nigeria beat the Indomitable Lions of
Cameroon 4-0 in their Russia 2018 World Cup qualifier encounter in
the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo, on Friday,
September 1, 2017.

After Cameroon controlled the early proceedings of the game
without any clear-cut chances, Odion Ighalo put the Super Eagles
ahead with a brilliant run onto a Mikel Jon Obi pass which saw him
turn Cameroonian centre back Michael Ngadeu Ngadjui, before
slotting pass goalkeeper, Fabrice Ondoa.

With the Cameroonian team still struggling to cause the Nigerian
defence any real trouble, Mikel Obi’s goal in the 41st minute
ensured the Nigerian team went into the dressing room at halftime
with a two-goal advantage.

After missing an opportunity to put Ighalo clean through with
the goalkeeper, Victor Moses whipped in a cross that Mikel Obi
smashed into the roof of the net to make the game 2-0.

Moses put the hosts out of sight in the 55th minute with a
brilliant counter attacking run that resulted in him whipping the
ball into the back of the net after a return pass from Moses Simon
to make the game 3 nil.

Substitute Kelechi Iheanacho effectively put the game past
Cameroon after he nodded in at the near post from a Simon cross to
make it 4-0 late in the game.

The win sees Nigeria go seven points clear of Cameroon on the
table with only one team set to qualify for the finals in
Russia.
