Football enthusiasts across social media have commended the Super Eagles following their 3-1 victory over Sudan at the 2021 Africa Cup of the Nations.
Saturday’s result at the Roumde Adjia Stadium was Nigeria’s second win in Cameroon and it secured their qualification to the Round of 16.
Samuel Chukwueze gave the West Africans an early lead with his third-minute strike and they doubled it on the stroke of half-time through Taiwo Awoniyi’s header.
After the interval, Moses Simon capped his man-of-the-match performance with a fine individual goal in the 46th minute.

Nigeria’s performances in Cameroon have earned praise for Eguavoen who took up the role of head coach on an interim capacity in December as the country guns for a fourth Afcon title.

The team is not sharp enough….playing cameroun and Senegal will be a big challenge…they are still jittery….funny how most of the players are left footers and can only play with 1 leg….we need to show class….so far team have been average

If Osimhen were here, Nigeria would be top scorer at this tournament. The drop-off in quality when Awoniyi goes off and Umar comes on is very visible.

This Nigeria team is too big for this Afcon competition, we need something bigger, give us teams like Germany or France please.

Moses Simon gave a pass; still ran to convert the chance. Has been mad impressive at #AFCON2021 . Tricky, fast, always looking to take on opponents & draw fouls. Only thing missing sometimes has been his final ball. Rohr was playing this talent as a defender. 🥺😭 #TeamNigeria

Rohr has blood on his hands for what he did to Moses Simon.

Nigeria’s Moses Simon just reminded us of Zidane with that 360-skill #AFCON2021
