Nigeria's Super Eagles soared to a convincing 3-0 win over Benin in their first Africa Cup of Nations qualifier, leaving the fans ecstatic. Ademola Lookman's stoppage-time goal set the tone, with Victor Osimhen and Lookman's double sealed the win in a stunning display of skill and determination.

The first half saw both teams create chances, but Benin's Steve Mounié's shot was deflected, and Nigeria's Samuel Chukwueze's set-piece was saved. Calvin Bassey received the first yellow card, giving Benin a free kick and a glimmer of hope.

The second half began with a better rhythm, and Lookman almost scored again before netting his second goal, sending the crowd into a frenzy. Benin pushed back, but Nigeria's defense held strong, with Osimhen scoring in the 78th minute and Lookman's double in the 83rd minute, the Super Eagles were on course to victory sending the fans into delirium.

Nigeria's dominant display sets them up nicely for their upcoming qualifiers and a good start for newly-appointed head coach, Augustine Eguavoen, while Benin will need to regroup and reassess their tactics.
