Rwanda recorded their first victory in Group D of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers after coming from behind to defeat Benin Republic 2-1 on Tuesday.
Softfootball reports that the result has reshaped the Group D standings, with Rwanda boosting their qualification hopes while Nigeria remain at the summit despite the postponement of their clash against Libya.
The defeat leaves Rwanda on five points in third place, while Benin Republic remain second with six points.
Nigeria’s Super Eagles continue to lead the group with seven points despite not playing their Matchday Four fixture against Libya, who remain rooted to the bottom of the standings.
On Tuesday, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) announced that the match between Libya and Nigeria had been called off.
The decision came after the Super Eagles refused to play following an incident in which their chartered flight was diverted to a different airport by Libyan authorities, leaving the players and officials stranded for more than 10 hours without adequate arrangements.
CAF is expected to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident before making a final ruling on the abandoned fixture.
