It was an awesome evening for the fans of the Super Eagles of Nigeria as they were thrilled with various spectacular skills from both team. The Nigerian side captained by John Mikel Obi were the first to start asking the questions when the goal from Victor Moses was ruled for offside.
Well, they kept pushing as Obi sets up Igalo who beats his marker to give in a low drive shot to score. It was Moses who crossed in a corner kick which was met by Mikel and he did score to give the team a 2 - 0 lead at half time.
Having made a substitution at half time, the Cameroonians started to try so as to get back into the game but the Nigerian shot stopper (I. Ezenwa from FC Ifeanyi Uba) proofed that he can be Nigeria's number 1 in the place of the indisposed Carl Ikeme who is currently battling with cancer.
V. Moses made it 3 - 0 after his name sake Simon Moses gave him a pass inside the 18 yard area and he perfectly put the ball into the back of the net with his left foot. After Igalo called to be substituted, his replacement, Kelechi Ihenacho headed in the cross from Onazi within 5 yards to finally make it 4 - 0 and condemned the African champions (Cameroon) to their 1st defeat of the world cup qualifiers.
Nigeria now has minimum point (9) from 3 matches. Algeria host Zambia later today by 2pm (WAT).
