Nigeria 2-0 Swaziland: Moses & Ambrose silence Sihlangu

Bulunga made the remark after the Super Eagles beat Swaziland 2-0 in the match played at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt.

After a goalless first leg in Lobamba last Friday, Coach Sunday Oliseh and his players knew only victory will keep them in contention.

Tunde Disu, former Super Eagles' coach, has commended the team for defeating Swaziland whom he described as "difficult". Sunshine stars' Paul Onobi replaced Mikel Obi; Sharks' Chima Akas came in for Elderson Echiejile and Austin Oboroakpo from Abia Warriors replaced Godfrey Oboabona.

Swazilan's coach claimed Nigeria's individual brilliance put the team through.

Ghent forward Simon scored from a free-kick six minutes after the break, before Celtic defender Ambrose turned the ball home from another set-piece with four minutes remaining to seal the tie.

Fans are already expressing their delight after the win against Swaziland because it progressed the team into the next round in the qualifying series of the world cup.

Sensational Libya are through to the group stages of the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers after beating Rwanda 3-1 at the Stade Régional de Nyamirambo in Kigali, Rwanda, going through on a 4-1 aggregate.

Phumlani was sent off for a second yellow after a rough tackle on Ogenyi Onazi, and the three minutes added time failed to produce another goal for either side.
