Ademola Lookman was forced off injured late in the first half and replaced by Moses Simon. Coach Eric Chelle then brought on Tolu Arokodare and Moses Usor in the second half, and the change paid off immediately: Arokodare scored in the 52nd minute, and the two substitutes combined for Arokodare's second goal and Nigeria's third in the 60th minute.

Arokodare, who has been in strong form on loan at Ajax in the Netherlands, had promised to carry his club form into the national team in the absence of the injured Victor Osimhen. Chelle later sent him a message after his brace.
