Senegal
defeated Nigeria 1-0 in the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN) Group D
match, leaving Nigeria at the bottom of the group and Senegal leading the
standings. The winning goal came from Christian Gomis in the 75th minute,
securing three points for Senegal, who are the defending champions. Despite
Nigeria controlling much of the game with more possession and passes, they
failed to score, and the loss puts them in a tough position early in the
tournament. Senegal’s victory continues their record of winning all their
opening games in CHAN tournaments. Nigeria will need to win their upcoming
matches, including against Sudan, to have a chance of advancing from the group
stage. Senegal, meanwhile, tops the group with confidence as they defend their
title.
This
outcome highlights Senegal’s strong start and Nigeria’s challenging beginning
in the group, shaping the race for the knockout rounds in Group D of CHAN 2024.
