Int’l Friendly: Super Eagles Seek Revenge Against Cameroon


Nigeria and Cameroon will once more battle it out at the Stadion Wiener Neustadt in the second of a two-match friendly programme in the Austrian capital, Vienna.

Five-time African champions Cameroon edged the first encounter 1-0 at the same venue on Friday, courtesy of a 36th-minute strike by Andre Zambo Nguissa. The Super Eagles created chance after chance but failed to get the ball into the net.

Coach Gernot Rohr spoke at length about having to use a rash of new players in the first session, but he is compelled to do even more of that in Tuesday’s encounter following injuries to defenders William Ekong and Jamilu Collins, and the knock for pacy winger Moses Simon.

Simon appeared to be getting better as of Monday morning, but the smart money is on him starting from the bench, just as Cyprus-based goalkeeper Francis Uzoho may start in goal against the Indomitable Lions. With the versatile Abdullahi Shehu heaved back to the rear from midfield for which he was initially pencilled down, and the couple of injuries from Friday’s match, Rohr has had to extend an invitation to Hungary –based Vincent Onovo to fight for his first cap. Onovo arrived in the team hotel just after dinner on Sunday.

A three-man defenceline is in the offing, with perhaps Chidozie Awaziem, who impressed in that unit on Friday, Abdullahi and Ozornwafor. Another late invitee, Anthony Izuchukwu, from Slovakia, is another possibility. A loaded midfield could include Onovo, with Wilfred Ndidi, Oghenekaro Etebo, Samson Tijani, and Abraham Marcus also on the roll.

Home–based professional Anayo Iwuala could start, with Paul Onuachu, Peter Olayinka, Kelechi Iheanacho, Alex Iwobi, Moses Simon, Terem Moffi, and Captain Ahmed Musa also to taste action.

After Friday’s game, Rohr told the media: “We missed seven key players due to injuries, so it was not our best team, but it was good to see other players. We are not happy to lose the game, but we saw some interesting new young players.”

Friday’s defeat was Rohr’s first loss to Cameroon in four matches. The Eagles pounded the Lions 4-0 in Uyo and were held 1-1 in Yaounde in 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches in September 2017, and then edged the Lions 3-2 in the Round of 16 at the Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt two years ago.

Though a friendly game, fierce rivals Cameroon were very happy to prevail over Nigeria for the first time since winning the Africa Cup of Nations final on penalty shoot-out in Lagos 21 years ago. “We took the game seriously because we played against a tough opponent, a big game against a big rival. It was important for us to show our preparations, and I’m happy we won,” said Cameroon’s Germany-based striker Eric Choupo-Moting.

A sense of purpose to win the second game reigns supreme in the Eagles’ Hilton Garden Inn camp in Wiener Neustadt, 46 kilometres outside Vienna.

Nigeria will play Cameroon in a second friendly game this Tuesday.

It is the second time both teams will face each other within four days, with the Indomitable Lions winning 1-0 last Friday.

André-Frank Zambo Anguissa, who stars for relegated English side Fulham, scored the winner in the first half.

The matches have been put together to help the Super Eagles prepare for their 2022 World Cup qualification games against Liberia and Cape Verde in September.

This will be Nigeria’s fourth international game in 2021. Their first two outings have been qualifiers for the Africa Cup of Nations.

Today’s international friendly will be played at the Wiener Neustadt Stadium in Vienna and has been scheduled for 17:00 (West African Time).

Match ended
The match that brought together the teams of Cameroon and Nigeria for the second time in less than a week came to an end.
This time the match ended goalless and despite Cameroon's dominance during almost 80 minutes of play, they did not manage to win and will have to work a little on their definition for what is coming, which is the second round of the African Qualifiers for the World Cup in Qatar 2022.

On the other hand, Nigeria must also work a lot on their team, as they are unable to create a collective game that allows them to hurt the opponent easily, they will also play the second round of the African Qualifiers for the World Cup of Qatar 2022.

OP, why everybody come leave you alone make you dey talk to yourself like this nah?
