Chelle: Our clash against Rwanda crucial than South Africa's game
Super Eagles Coach, Eric Chelle, has said that his side will prioritise September’s clash against Rwanda in the 2026 World Cup qualifying series than the clash against South Africa, which has been described by many as the Group C ticket decider.
Nigeria is on seven points, six less than the leaders, South Africa, which is on 13 points.
The Super Eagles failed to narrow the gap with the Bafana Bafana after a tame 1-1 draw with Zimbabwe, in Uyo last month. That draw, all but extinguished Nigeria’s hope of catching up with the South Africans, who made their intention of taking the known more realistic by beating Benin Republic 2-0, in Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire the same night that the Super Eagles were struggling with Zimbabwe at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium.
