Nigeria beat brave Swaziland 2-0

TWO second-half goals was what Nigeria's Eagles needed to advance to the next round of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers at the expense of a brave 10-man Swaziland on Tuesday.
The lowly ranked team defied the odds last week Friday as they held star studded Super Eagles to a barren 0-0 in the first leg in Lobambo.
The Sihlangu side had a better first half in Port-Harcourt as

they denied the Eagles attacking like of Watford top scorer, Odion Ighalo,captain Ahmed Musa and Simon Moses from scoring, thus leaving the Port-Harcourt fans worried about Coach Sunday Oliseh's game plan, as he left John Mikel Obi on the bench.
The 40, 000 capacity Adokiye Amiesiamaka Stadium came to life as Moses Simon put Nigeria finally in front after 51 minutes courtesy of a sublime free kick before Efe Ambrose tapped home a second goal three minutes from time.

Sihlangu's Phumlami Dlamini saw his marching orders in the closing minutes of the game for a second booking offence.
