Although they had several shots at qualifying, their first leg match against Egypt which resulted in a draw lowered their chances.

To add salt to injury, Chad dropped out of the game stating financial reasons and the Eagles were left with one chance: Win or Get Lost!

The Eagles faced the Egyptian Pharaohs for the second time on March 29. Unfortunately for them, the Egyptian Pharaohs came hard this time, scored the only game of the match and earned a 5 point lead.

When you realise the Nigerian Super Eagles will be missing the AFCON tournament for the second time.
