Super Eagles did a good job by winning with 2 goals to 0 against Rwanda. It was expected to be a hard match for them and it was Osimhen who excelled in the first half by scoring all Nigeria goals. Can we say that Nigeria is back on track again?
Same goes for the other games played today so far, all favourites teams won their matches.
Super Eagles' hope to be at the World Cup would have received a major blow if they had lost this match. All thanks to Victor Osimhen for delivering the Nigerian team today. Although I am not too impressed with the quality of Play they can do better if the team keeps blending. Kudos to the new coach; he has done what many coaches have failed to achieve. I don't know if Nigeria is really back, time will tell.
For me I love the way Nigeria played today because it has been long I see the team play with so much confidence. If you want the second half, you will notice that the Nigeria side holds the ball for almost give minutes anytime Rwanda loses possession of the ball and the passes are accurate and classic. This is unlike the Super Eagles that play up ball looking for the attack in most of their matches. If Nigeria can sustain this level of ball control going forward, we will go far in most if the coming tournaments. It is just a matter of the coach working out how to convert that possession to goal scoring opportunities. The Super Eagles did exceptionally well today.
