Super-sub Tolu Arokodare stepped off the bench and grabbed the only goal of the match in the second half.
Earlier, Victor Osimhen thought he had put Nigeria ahead, but officials ruled it offside.
To make matters worse, he limped off injured, sparking fresh worries about the team’s attack.
The narrow victory keeps Nigeria alive in Group C, but the team heads into Tuesday’s clash with South Africa under huge pressure.
Many critics believe the game exposed flaws in finishing and tactics that need urgent fixing.
Fans wasted no time voicing their frustrations on X.
Some of the reactions after the match included:
“Even if nah own goal just win against SA. We are good. But una need to try more oooo.” — @WorthyGodwin1
“Playing the WC means winning and making those chances count. Can’t even score 3 against Rwanda.” — @royaleweb3_
“We should devise a strategy against South Africa. We can’t play like this and expect a win away.” — @Azeez_Maleek
In the end, supporters welcomed the three points but demanded sharper finishing, quicker play, and clearer tactics.
Now the challenge is clear: Nigeria must turn the Super Eagles 1-0 Rwanda win into momentum, tighten their attack, and stay focused if they want to keep their World Cup dreams alive.
