With the score-line still goalless, the Mediterranean Knights deployed several dark arts and underhand antics to frustrate the Super Eagles.

Libya continued to keep the Nigerian strikers at bay as they activated their time-wasting tactics.

The visitors, however, succumbed after winger Moses Simon navigated his way around the edge of the area and then found Dele-Bashiru, who tucked home the winner.

Soccernet reports that Nigeria star Onyemaechi is convinced that the North African Knights deserve special recognition.

In a cheeky post on social media, he suggested that Libya deserves an award for time-wasting. He wrote on his X handle:

“Important 3 points. Omo CAF suppose give them award on wasting time.”

Libya host Nigeria in Benghazi on match day four of the matchday of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
