For the first time in 40 years, the Super Eagles of Nigeria suffered a defeat in a World Cup qualifying match in Lagos on Thursday.
The three-time African champions were beaten 1-0 by little known Central African Republic.
The visitors profited off a miscalculation between William Troost-Ekong and Leon Balogun, which left Karl Namnganda to fire his shot past goalkeeper Francis Uzoho.
The Super Eagles dominated all through the game but they could not make their dominance count.
The Super Eagles will hope to bounce back in four days time in Douala when they face the same team again.
Despite the dropped points in Lagos, the super Eagles remain at the top of Group C with six points after three games while the Central African Republic now have four points with cape Verde who also beat Liberia away from home on Thursday. Liberia has three points from three matches to put them at the bottom of the group.
