In the 2022 FIFA African WCQ match between Nigeria and Liberia yesterday, the Super Eagles has broken a jinx of not beating Liberia away from home in a qualifying match.

Goals from Victor Osimhen in his 14th minute penalty kick gave Nigeria the lead over Liberia in the first half and Ahmed Musa 90th minute penalty kick in the second half of the game gave the second goal to defeat the Lone Stars of Liberia in Morocco.
