AFCON 2019: Super Eagles to face Cameroon in Round of 16

Nigeria will play Cameroon in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations Round of 16.

The Super Eagles had already qualified, following their consecutive 1-0 wins over Burundi and Guinea, but they were shocked 2-0 by Madagascar in their final Group B fixture.

It meant that Gernot Rohr’s men finished in second place and would face the runners-up from Group F.

The Indomitable Lions could only draw 0-0 with Benin Republic on Tuesday in their final group match.

The result saw them lose top place to Ghana, who beat Guinea-Bissau 2-0 in their own game.

Nigeria’s game against Cameroon will be played this Saturday, July 6.
