Central African Republic defeated Nigeria’s Super Eagles 1-0 on Thursday in a FIFA 2022 World Cup qualifier at the Teslim Balogun Stadium in Lagos
The team nicknamed Wild Beast is ranked 90 places behind Nigeria, lived up to their name with a late goal that broke the heart of the three-time African champions who came in to the game with two wins out of two.
The visitors profited off a miscalculation between William Troost-Ekong and Leon Balogun, which left Karl Namnganda to fire his shot past goalkeeper Francis Uzoho.
The Super Eagles will face the Wild Beats again next week in Douala.
Even with the dropped points in Lagos, the Super Eagles remain at the top of Group C with six points after three games while the Central African Republic now have four points same as Cape Verde who also beat Liberia away from home on Thursday.
