Nigeria’s Super Eagles will meet Cameroon’s Indomitable Lions in the African Cup of Nations Round of 16 on Saturday.
The match was confirmed after Cameroon finished the group stage with a thrilling 3-2 win over Gambia on Tuesday night.
With the victory, they ended Group C four points behind Senegal, while Guinea, who lost to the Teranga Lions on Tuesday, qualified for the knockout as one of the best losers.
Super Eagles advanced to the knockout stage after defeating Guinea Bissau 1-0 on Monday.
The team finished Group A with seven points behind the surprise package, Equatorial Guinea.
In the game at the Stade de la Paix, Cameroon scored twice with time ticking away to snatch a dramatic win and one that eliminated Ghana from the tournament.
In an amazing finish in Bouake, Ebrima Colley scored on 85 minutes to put Gambia 2-1 up only for Joseph Gomez to concede an own goal before an added-time Christopher Wooh goal won a thriller.
Although Cameroon are 80 places above the Gambia in the world rankings, they came under considerable first-half pressure and were lucky to be level at 0-0 by half-time.
