Nigeria’s Super Eagles staged another impressive performance after holding the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon to a draw in Yaounde.

Eagles further strengthened their grip at the top of Group B in the 2018 FIFA World Cup Qualifier on Monday evening when they visited the Lions.

The former African champions opened the scoring in the 30th minute after an Odion Ighalo’s shot was cleared to Belgium-based Moses Simon who put the ball behind goalkeeper Fabrice Ondoa.

The Cameroonians, however, equalised from the spot following a reckless challenge by goalkeeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa on Djoum Arnaud in the second half.

Vincent Aboubakar slot the ball into the net as Ezenwa went the wrong way in the 75th minute.

The Eagles lead the group with 10 points, six points ahead of second placed Zambia with a game in hand.

On the other hand, Cameroon have three points and Algeria have a point.
