AFCON2023: Super Eagles Play Out Draw With Equatorial Guinea
Super Eagles were held to a 1-1 draw by the Elephants of Equatorial Guinea in their opening AFCON match held in Ivory Coast.
Nigeria came into the match beaming with some confidence with African Footballer of The Year, Victor Osimhen leading the attack.
Despite injuries to Victor Boniface, Wilfred Ndidi, Kelechi Iheanacho and Sadiq Umar, they began the match in a spritely manner with Oshimhen in the 4th-minute shooting wide after a mistake from Equatorial Guinea’s keeper.
Stanley Nwabali was preferred to Francis Uzoho in goal after the latter had come under heavy criticism of late.
