The Super Eagles of Nigeria played out a 0-0 draw against Rwanda in their second match of the AFCON 2025 qualifiers, leaving Kigali with a single point. Despite dominating possession and creating numerous chances throughout the game, Nigeria could not find a way past Rwanda’s inspired goalkeeper, Fiacre Ntwari. The Super Eagles pressed hard for a breakthrough, with strikers Victor Osimhen and Kelechi Iheanacho coming close on several occasions, but Ntwari’s heroics between the posts kept the Rwandans in the game.
Rwanda, for their part, displayed remarkable defensive discipline and organization, managing to stifle Nigeria’s relentless attack while occasionally posing a threat on the counter. Ntwari’s crucial saves, including a diving stop to deny Samuel Chukwueze, ensured that Rwanda held on for a valuable point. The result sees Nigeria remain unbeaten in the qualifiers, but they will leave Kigali frustrated by their inability to capitalize on their chances. Meanwhile, Rwanda will take pride in the performance of their goalkeeper and a well earned draw against one of Africa’s football powerhouses.
