The Super Eagles of Nigeria are through to the 2020 Africa Cup of Nations despite drawing 0-0 with Sierra Leone in Freetown in the reverse tie of the 4-4 draw played on Friday.

Nigeria seal their spot as the other group game between Lesotho and Benin Republic ended in a 0-0 draw handing Nigeria the chance to seal their passage with a draw.

Lesotho and Sierra Leone are effectively out of the race with Nigeria and Benin Republic progressing from the group as the best placed two teams in the group.

On a pitch that looks more like a grazing outlay than a football pitch the Super Eagles had the best of chances to seal a win but came unstuck therefore missing a chance to avenge the 4-4 draw last week Friday.

Sierra Leone clawed their way back from a 4-0 deficit to draw 4-4 with Nigeria which kept their chances of qualifying open until today after the result in Maseru and the 0-0 draw against Nigeria in Freetown.
