Adams Scores on Debut as Nigeria Beat Lesotho to Keep World Cup Hopes Alive

Nigeria defeated Lesotho 2-1 on Friday evening to keep their hopes of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup alive.

Goals from William Troost-Ekong and Akor Adams proved enough for the Super Eagles to secure all three points against the Crocodiles at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane.

Desperate for a victory, the three-time African champions started the game brightly but struggled to break down the well-organised Southern African defence.
