Aribo reaches AFCON Round of 16
Joe Aribo helped Nigeria to AFCON Round of 16 qualification on Monday night, starting in a 1-0 win over Guinea Bissau.
In the final fixture in Group A, Aribo was handed his first start of the tournament with the Super Eagles sitting second.
The Saints midfielder completed 63 minutes, still on the pitch when Opa Sangante's own goal in the first half proved to be the difference between the two teams.
Marking their 100th AFCON appearance in style, José Peseiro's side will face the runner-up in Group C in the next round.
