Following their emphatic 4-0 win over Gambia in the opening game, the back-to-back African champions solidified their position at the top of Group C with six points and a goal difference of nine.
Yusif Yahaya opened the scoring just seven minutes into the match. The team's momentum continued as Hamza Mohammed doubled the lead only three minutes later.
Mubarik Mohammed added a brace, bringing his total to four goals in two games after scoring twice against Gambia. Tube Hayfura sealed the victory with the fifth goal.
