Super Eagles of Nigeria defeated Burundi 1-0 in their opening group game on Saturday evening.
Jude Odion Ighalo didn't start the match but came from the bench to score winner.
Gernot Rohr's side, who are 89 places above Burundi in FIFA's world rankings, struggled for long periods in their Group B opener at the Alexandria Stadium but sealed all three points in the 77th minute.
Odion Ighalo, introduced for Paul Onuachu just four minutes earlier, latched onto Ola Aina's wonderful back-heeled pass and coolly whipped the ball past Jonathan Nahimana.
