The pain of the Super Eagles' defeat against Rwanda in the last game of the 2025 African Cup of Nations qualifiers is still reverberating among football-loving fans of Nigeria.
Augustine Eguavoen's side lost 2-1 to the Wasps of Rwanda at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo after initially taking the lead against the three-time African champions.
Two goals in quick succession from Ange Mutsinzi and Innocent Nshuti ensured that Samuel Chukwueze's brilliant solo effort only counted as a consolation.
Despite the defeat, Nigeria finished as Group D winners with 11 points in the qualifiers.
In the latest development, a passionate fan who was supporting the Super Eagles in the stands at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium was left distraught after losing a staggering N500,000 bet due to the defeat.
After staking a double chance bet on the Super Eagles, a win or draw could have seen this fan win a sum of N1,000,000.
Incensed by the Super Eagles' lackluster performance, he blamed the team for his woes in a video which has gone viral.
