Nigeria’s Super Eagles have played a 0-0 draw with the Amavuli of Rwanda in the African Cup of Nations qualifiers.
Austin Eguavoen’s side, which beat Benin Republic 3-0 in their first game, was left frustrated by both their profligacy and the brilliance of the Rwandan goalie.
With this outcome, the Super Eagles continue to top the standings after picking up four points in their first two qualifying round games.
Nigeria however took control of the game afterwards with the lively Ademola Lookman causing problems for the hosts’ defence.
Lookman was put through on goal in the 20th minute by Wilfred Ndidi but his shot was saved by Ntwari Fiacre.
The Atalanta winger put the ball inside the net three minutes later but the goal was controversially chalked off by the centre referee.
Victor Boniface hit the woodwork nine minutes before the break after he was set up by Lookman.
Super Eagles caretaker coach, Augustine Eguavoen made two changes at the start of second half.
Victor Osimhen and Moses Simon took the place of Victor Boniface and Samuel Chukwueze.
The Super Eagles created a number of chances in the second half but Ntwari thwarted their efforts.
The West Africans remain top of Group D with four points from two games.
On October 7, they will play at home against Libya in an attempt to bounce back from the disappointing goalless draw against Rwanda.
