Nigeria's Super Eagles have secured their spot in the Round of 16 of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025 in Morocco, topping Group C with a perfect record. The team defeated Uganda 3-1 on Tuesday, December 30, at the Complexe Sportif de Fès in Fez, Morocco. 

Raphael Onyedika scored a brace, netting in the 62nd and 67th minutes, while Paul Onuachu opened the scoring in the 28th minute. Rogers Mato pulled one back for Uganda in the 75th minute, but it wasn't enough to stop the Super Eagles' momentum.

With this win, Nigeria finishes the group stage with nine points from three matches, having scored eight goals and conceded four. The team's next opponent in the Round of 16 will be the third-placed team from Group F, which is yet to be determined.
