2′
Victor Osimhen fires a fierce low shot, testing Uganda goalkeeper and captain Onyango, who manages to parry it. However, the linesman’s flag is raised for offside, and the chance is ruled out.
The match is underway in Fez as Nigeria take on Uganda in a crucial AFCON Group clash.
————————————————————————————————————–
Nigeria have made several changes for their final Group C clash against Uganda, with Francis Uzoho starting in goal and Ryan Alebiosu handed a rare start.
Eric Chelle appears to be rotating his squad with qualification already secured, leaving Alex Iwobi and Ademola Lookman on the bench.
The Super Eagles have gone with a two-man strike force as Victor Osimhen partners Paul Onuachu up front, while Moses Simon and Samuel Chukwueze provide width and pace from the flanks.
In midfield, Raphael Onyedika and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru will be tasked with controlling the tempo against a Uganda side fighting for survival.
Uganda come into the game needing a win to keep their slim hopes of reaching the Round of 16 alive, which could force them to take risks early on.
Nigeria, meanwhile, will be aiming to maintain their perfect record in the group stage and carry momentum into the knockout rounds.
Kick-off is moments away at the Fez Stadium, with all eyes on how the Super Eagles handle rotation while chasing a third straight win at AFCON 2025.
