Mauritania Beats Supersand Eagles 6-5, Eliminates Nigeria from Beach Soccer AFCON
The Supersand Eagles of Nigeria have been edged out of the 2024 Beach Soccer African Cup of Nations (AFCON) following a narrow 6-5 defeat to Mauritania in the second leg of their qualifier.
Despite a strong showing in the first leg, where the Supersand Eagles secured a 5-4 victory, the aggregate score ended in a 10-10 tie. As a result, the away goal rule worked against them, and Mauritania advanced to the AFCON.
The Supersand Eagles had been aiming to make a comeback to the AFCON after a five-year hiatus, and their defeat marks a setback for the team.
Historically, Nigeria has claimed the Beach Soccer AFCON title twice, showcasing its strong legacy in the sport.
With this recent result, the Supersand Eagles will now focus on regrouping and refining their strategies in preparation for future competitions, with the goal of a more successful campaign in the next qualifying round.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta shares thoughts on how the upcoming week will be for the team. The manager shows no sign of defeat during the interview.
He shared that he still has big dreams and shows that he still has hope for the team:
“I’m on fire. That’s it. Nothing else. I’m dreaming so much.
“I’ve done so much to be in this position. Because I know how this club was. I’ve done so much against anything that I just see beauty, opportunity. I want to get it done with those who have been on this journey with us. They deserve it, it’s unbelievable.”
Arsenal legend Paul Merson shares his thoughts on Manchester United’s chances of winning the Premier League next season.
The club is currently stationed between Arsenal and Manchester City on the league table this season.
Merson shared that he doesn’t think they have the will to go all in for the title.
“I don’t think Manchester United are ready to fight for the title next season. Their sole focus should be on getting back into the Champions League.”
Manchester City secured a 3–0 victory over Chelsea in their Premier League clash on Sunday, April 12, 2026.
The win brings City closer than ever to Arsenal at the top of the table, raising questions about whether Arsenal can maintain their position.
It can be recalled that Arsenal recently suffered a loss to Bournemouth, which has added pressure in the title race.
