Friday Recap

Nigeria secured victory over Libya thanks to a late goal from Sunday Felaye, giving them four points from their opening two games.

A win for Libya would have been enough to secure a quarter-final spot but they struggled to create many chances as Nigeria had the better of it in Tangier.

The first half was a pretty tame affair with neither goalkeeper seriously called into action, per the BBC's Nick Cavell:

Indeed the game looked to be heading for a draw until Felaye converted Osas Okoro's cross with a neat finish with just 13 minutes of normal time remaining.

Later on Friday, Rwanda picked up their first win of the tournament with a 1-0 victory over Equatorial Guinea.

Thierry Manzi headed home their first goal of the competition, which was enough to take all three points.

Rwanda now face a final game against Libya, while Equatorial Guinea will take on Nigeria.

Friday's results mean Group C remains wide open with all four teams in contention for a place in the quarter-finals going into the final round of group fixtures.
