Guinea-Bissau beat Nigeria 3–0 at the Estádio Nacional 24 de Setembro in Bissau on Tuesday, 29 September (17:00 WAT kick-off), in Matchday 2 of Group L in the AFCON 2027 qualifiers. It is the Super Eagles’ first defeat of the campaign, four days after the 2–1 comeback win over Madagascar.
Franculino Djú put the hosts ahead after 15 minutes. Mama Baldé doubled the lead midway through the second half, and Álvaro Djaló sealed it in stoppage time, finishing a counter-attack from a Tamble Monteiro through ball.
Nigeria, still without Victor Osimhen, changed shape at the break: Frank Onyeka came off for Moses Usor, and George Ilenikhena and Raphael Onyedika were sent on later to chase the game. The match reports describe Guinea-Bissau controlling the game throughout, with Beto and Franculino creating the clearest chances before both were substituted late on.
What it means: Nigeria stay on three points from two matches in Group L, and the margin of defeat matters because head-to-head and goal difference can decide tight qualifying groups. The next qualifying window is in October; fixtures and kick-off times in WAT will be listed here once CAF confirms them.
This is a verified result story built from the published match reports. Reaction from the NFF and the coaching staff, and the official Group L table, will be added when CAF publishes them.
