Nigeria's Super Eagles Salvage Some Pride in CHAN 2024 Exit

The African Nations Championship (CHAN) PAMOJA 2024 came to a disappointing end for Nigeria's Super Eagles, as they were eliminated from the tournament. Despite this, their final match against Congo provided a glimmer of hope and salvaged some pride for the team.

The match began with few clear chances in the opening half, reflecting the tension and pressure that both teams were under. Congo, equally desperate to keep their hopes alive, and Nigeria, striving to break their goal drought, played a defensive game.

The breakthrough came in the 56th minute, when Sikiru Alimi provided an assist for Anas Yusuf to score, ending Nigeria's goal drought. The Super Eagles went on to win the match 2-0, a victory that was well-deserved given their improved performance in the second half.

Unfortunately, the goal between Nigeria and Congo also ended Nigeria's slim chances of advancing in CHAN 2024, as both Sudan and Senegal had already accumulated five points and advanced to the next round. Nigeria placed third in the group, ahead of Congo who finished last.

The coach of the DR Congo national team during the CHAN 2024 tournament was Sese Nsengi-Biembe. Congo's exit from the tournament was bitter, with their lack of cutting edge being decisive.

Coach Chelle admitted that mistakes and slow starts had undermined Nigeria's campaign in CHAN 2024. The team was heavily criticized for their blunt attack, as they failed to score in their opening two games.
