Nigeria began their quest to qualify for the 2022 World Cup with a 2-0 win over Liberia on Friday.<\/p>\n

The game was played at the Teslim Balogun Stadium in Lagos.<\/p>\n

Leicester City\u2019s Kelechi Iheanacho scored a first-half brace to seal all three points for the three-time African champions.<\/p>\n

His first goal came in the 22nd minute, after he found space in the right wing and unleashed an effort that flew past goalkeeper Ashley Williams.<\/p>\n

Victor Osimhen missed a good chance to double Nigeria\u2019s lead with five minutes left to play in the first half, before Iheanacho swivelled to make it 2-0.<\/p>\n

The Super Eagles now top Group C with three points.<\/p>\n

They take on Cape Verde in their next qualifying fixture on Tuesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
