BREAKING: Gernot Rohr Begs Super Eagles To Beat Rwanda For Benin To Qualify For AFCON 2025—-The head coach of Benin Republic, Gernot Rohr, is hoping that Nigeria helps their bid to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Rohr’s men failed to beat the Super Eagles on Thursday day, with the qualifying fixture ending 1-1 in Abidjan.
Mohamed Tijani’s goal had given the Beninoise the lead in the 16th minute, before Victor Osimhen drew the game level in the 81st minute.
The result leaves the Squirrels with all to do in the final match of the qualifying series away to Libya.
A win of a low-score defeat will see Benin Republic qualify, only if Nigeria beat Rwanda in Uyo on Monday.
“We have to avoid defeat. But you don’t go to play for a draw,” Rohr said.
“So we will use our confidence from the performance today (against Nigeria) for the game in Benghazi.
“Hopefully, the Super Eagles will beat Rwanda in Uyo.”
