Uche, Samuel score as Nigeria escapes Congolese onslaught

Ike Uche and Aaron Samuel scored to see Nigeria put two goals past Congo in Pointe Noire on Saturday.

Super Eagles needed to beat the host to keep their hope of qualifying for the Afcon 2015 in Equatorial Guinea.

The red devils defeated the Eagles 3-2 in calabar but were not clinical enough to cause upsets on their home soil.

South will visit Nigeria for the final group game, while Congo will play host to Sudan.
