Nigeria suffered a shock 1-0 home defeat against Central African Republic in African qualifying for the 2022 World Cup on Thursday.
Substitute Karl Namnganda, who plays in the French fourth tier for Les Herbiers, managed to latch on to a hopeful long ball forward as it fell between two Super Eagles defenders to score in the 91st minute in Lagos.
It was Nigeria’s first loss at home in a World Cup qualifier since October 1981 when they lost 2-0 to Algeria in front of 80,000 fans in Lagos.
