Yellow card for the midfielder and he can have no complaints.

47 mins: Simon has to make it 2-0!
He’s clean through on goal, looks to go round the goalkeeper but Mendes stretches out an arm and claims the ball. Big moment.

Up and running again as Nigeria look to complete job.

GOAL! Guinea-Bissau 0-1 Nigeria | Opa Sangante (OG) 37′
BUT NIGERIA TAKE THE LEAD NOW!
Simple as you like. Nigeria away down the left after a long ball out to Aina.
It’s nodded into the path of Simon, he plays it across the face of goal and Sangante smashes it into his own net, with Osimhen waiting behind him for a tap-in.
Guinea-Bissau 0-0 Nigeria
35 mins: Back underway, still Nigeria are struggling to get anything going.
Ball over their defence, Dalcio not far away at all from getting on the end of it. Warning signs for the Super Eagles.
Guinea-Bissau 0-0 Nigeria
22 mins: Corner for Guinea-Bissau, underdogs continue to look threatening.
That’s not particularly threatening though, swung to the back post and Aina can let that run straight out.
Guinea-Bissau 0-0 Nigeria
16 mins: Nigeria corner, swung in deep and it’s cleared away.
Bit more like it, Super Eagles with more of the ball having had just 30% of possession so far.
Long ball over the top, Osayi on the stretch can only poke the ball at the goalkeeper. Offside flag goes up, wouldn’t have counted.
Guinea-Bissau 0-0 Nigeria
7 mins: Nito tries his luck from distance, as Nigeria allow him space from 25 yards out. Shot is straight at the goalkeeper.
Nwabili then takes a bit too long on the ball, gets clattered as he eventually plays the pass. Free-kick.
Up and running for the final time in Group A!
