Nigeria crashed out of the 8th African Nations Championship on Tuesday after an abject performance by a team that failed to put any foot right against Sudan in 90 minutes of football in Zanzibar.
The defeat on the Indian Ocean Island, following from the one-goal defeat by Cup-holders Senegal a week earlier, meant the Eagles B will pack their bags and exit the competition, no matter the result of their final Group D encounter against Congo in Dar es Salaam on Tuesday next week.
The humiliation was a joint-record defeat for Nigeria in the 26-year-old competition – a similar scoreline to their defeat by hosts Morocco in the Final of the 2018 championship.
