Guinea-Bissau beat Nigeria 3-0 in AFCON qualifier
CAF reports goals from Franculino, Mama Balde and Alvaro Djalo.
Guinea-Bissau beat Nigeria 3-0 in the September 29 AFCON 2027 qualifiers, according to CAF's official roundup. The result left Guinea-Bissau with six points from their opening two Group L matches.
Franculino opened the scoring after 15 minutes. Mama Balde added the second during the second half and Alvaro Djalo completed the score in the fifth minute of stoppage time. Nigeria had won their opener against Madagascar but could not repeat that recovery.
CAF says Tanzania is automatically qualified as a co-host, so only the highest-placed side among Guinea-Bissau, Nigeria and Madagascar qualifies alongside Tanzania from this group. A strong two-match start therefore gives Guinea-Bissau an advantage but is not itself a confirmed finals berth.
This original summary focuses on the confirmed Nigeria result and qualifying context. Ghana's separate loss to The Gambia is already covered in ScoreZaap News. No future match result, coach quotation or copied match photograph has been added.
