Austin Eguavoen opted for Iheanacho and Union Berlin’s Taiwo Awoniyi to lead Nigeria’s frontline owing to the absence of Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, Watford’s Emmanuel Dennis and Al Shabab’s Odion Ighalo. Nigeria climbed to the top of Group D table with three points and they will hope to build on the win when they face Sudan on Saturday.
