Nigeria v Sudan - live updates

A comfortable win for the Super Eagles, they will face much sterner tests but past this one with flying colours.

He is replaced by Tia, Sudan's last allocated substitute.

He should be alright to finish the match though.

Nigeria thinking of the games ahead.

And Okoye just paws the ball barely out of the six-yard box but Troost-Ekong can they clear.

But hits his effort wide.

But the Sudan keeper saves comfortably.

Cool penalty from Walieldin Khidir sending the keeper the wrong way.

The referee awards the spot kick and gives Aina a yellow card.

There was a shirt pull and a foot stood on by Aina on Mustafa when a corner came in.

Nooh looked to be through on goal but Sanusi timed his tackle perfectly as he turned into the area.

Iheanacho and Aribo come off.

Nigeria seem pretty satisfied with their efforts and do not want to over-exert themselves, while Sudan seem happy to just get their foot on the ball.

But the referee had blown the whistle for a foul from Iheanacho for a push.

Dreadful defending from Nemer looking to head a ball virtually on the floor and Mustafa has to come across to block Awoniyi's effort.

That didn't take long. Simon with the goal. Sudan didn't touch the ball before Nemer just managed to prevent Awoniyi receiving the ball on the edge of the box but only succeeded in playing through Simon who smashes a finish low under the keeper.

Iwobi has replaced Chukwueze for Nigeria

Al-Gozoli and Mahjoub arte on for Eisa and Abas for Sudan.

It is very hard to see Sudan getting back into the game now.
