Odion Ighalo’s treble propelled the 2013 African champions past the north Africans, before Samuel Kalu completed the rout in the closing stages of the game. Tuesday’s visit to Sfax, however, represents another stiff test of Rohr’s Super Eagles since going down to South Africa in Uyo, and with a place in Cameroon 2019 a major priority – the Mediterranean Knights will be keen to take a strong result from Stade Taïeb Mhiri.

Ighalo leads the qualification scoring charts alongside Knowledge Musona with four goals so far, while Mohamed Salah trails by three. Rohr will be without Shehu Abdullahi and Onazi but the visitors will perhaps feel confident of a result against a shaky Libyan backline.<doc-sep>A brace by Odion Ighalo and another goal by Ahmed Musa gave Nigeria’s Super Eagles a 3-2 victory over hosts Libya in Sfax, Tunisia, to move top of Group E of 2019 AFCON Qualifiers.
