Nigeria’s hopes of maintaining an unbeaten start to the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign suffered a major setback after the Super Eagles were beaten 3-0 by Guinea-Bissau in Bissau.
The two sides had both won their opening Group L matches, making the encounter an early battle for top spot.
Guinea-Bissau started strongly and eventually took the lead through Franculino Djú, who broke down the right before beating Bruno Onyemaechi and finishing past Stanley Nwabali.
Nigeria struggled to respond, with the Super Eagles unable to create enough attacking pressure before the break.
The hosts increased their lead in the 66th minute when Mama Baldé scored Guinea-Bissau’s second goal.
A third goal in stoppage time completed a memorable victory for the Djurtus and handed Nigeria a heavy defeat on the road.
Guinea-Bissau now sit alone at the summit of 2027 AFCON qualifying Group L with six points, while Nigeria occupy second place with three points.
The Super Eagles will now need a strong response in their next qualifying fixture as the battle for a place at the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations continues.
