Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how the Super Eagles of Nigeria had an easy 3-0 win over the Crocodiles of Lesotho in their final AFCON 2021 qualifying match at the Teslim Balogun Stadium in Lagos.
Gernot Rohr's men had already qualified for the tournament but played for pride as the Nigerian national team return to Lagos after more than two decades.
Nigeria's first chance of the game came in the 8th minute when Samuel Chukwueze advanced Oghenekaro Etebo.
The Galatasaray man delivered a low rocket which left goalkeeper Sekhoane Moerane sprawling.
The Super Eagles took the lead in the 23rd minute through Napoli man Victor Osimhen who took advantage of a slack defense before flicking the ball into the net. 1-0.
Lesotho put the ball into Nigeria's net through Marabe who scored, but referee signalled offside.
And five minutes into the second-half, Osimhen got the better Basia Makepe and then set up Oghenekaro Etebo who poked home leaving goalkeeper Sekhoane Moerane hapless in goal. 2-0.
The Eagles would have grabbed yet another goal moments later after the rampaging Chukwueze ghosted past his man, set himself up before rifling his shot over the bar.
