It was a comedy of errors culminating into an utterly disappointing evening as the Super Eagles of Nigeria squandered a 4-1 first half lead against The Leone Stars of Sierra Leone to end the game 4 apiece in their 2021 African Nations Cup qualifying match.

The game, which was played at the Samuel Ogbebudia Stadium in Benin City, Edo State, ended up to be one that many Nigerians would want to forget in a hurry. Despite the huge expectations of a smooth victory to give the Super Eagles a better chance of qualifying for the biggest football competition in the continent, the Nigeria national side showed that perhaps, they were not mentally ready for the task at hand.

The goals started pouring in as early as the 4th minute of the match when Alex Iwobi made it 1-0 to the Super Eagles. Victor Osimhen added the second goal in the 21st minute and Iwobi scored a brace to make it 3-0. Samuel Chukwueze joined the party as he included a 4th for the Eagles in the 29th minute. It was almost turning into a pool party for the Nigerian side before Kwame Quee scored what many thought was going to be a consolation goal to make the score line 4-1 at half time.

No one would have predicted a comeback for the Sierra Leoneans in such circumstance. Nigeria's coach, Gernot Rohr, showed tactical deficiency and incompetence as his team was smoldered in an unprecedented manner by a relatively inexperienced Sierra Leone side. Nevertheless, it was a brilliant performance by the Leone Stars in the second half as they fought their way into salvaging a valuable point against the lacklustre, disgraceful Super Eagles of Nigeria. Two goals from Alhaji Kamara and another from Kwame Quee secured the fantastic draw for Sierra Leone.

The draw leaves Nigeria still top of Group L with 7 points, while Sierra Leone is third with 2 points.

The return leg of the tie will take place in Sierra Leone next week, Tuesday 17th November.

Damnnnnn niggarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Isoright....
Super eagles fall my hand
From 4:0 to 4:4

Well this isn't surprising

Thats football its not over until the final whistle .

Once there is tactical error from the bench due to wrong or right substitution thats when you will see this kind of result.

Super eagles substitution was wrong but our opponent substitution was right. Mind you we don't have small teams in football again.

Secondly experience matters a lot in the game of football. You cant compare their own experience with own , for instance Alhaji kamara came back from retirement in order to play against super eagles . and the guy justify his inclusion by scoring two brilliant goals.

In the game of football it is the bench that wins the match not the players on the pitch , coach ability to read the match from the bench then make fundamental changes that would bring the result.

We are meeting them again in their own backyard let's see how far it goes

Till then good bye for now.

I'm trying hard to understand what's happening here.

I still don't know why I hate football.

I only watch football so that I can have something to say when the LOUD guys are arguing about Messi and C.Ronaldo

super Eagles all the way

Okay

Thank God I didn't waste my precious time to watch the match... I spent it working on something productive, ọpẹ́ o!

As it is now, even if a match is between Nigeria vs Afghanistan, I can't bet on Naija.

Rohr should be fired.

Nobi small

They were tired after 30mins

Pathetic, I didn't watch the match but I followed proceedings online, was beyond shocked when I saw the final score cos I concluded at halftime that the match was already won by the super eagles. We need to re-jig and find good players to really add bite to this present crop of players.

Such a disgrace

Super eagle thank you o for supporting Nigerian youth.if you know you know

HAPPINESS IS HERE







MY FRIENDS MADE ME WATCH THE GAME AND THEY ARE HAPPY I DID,

I'M NOT GOING TO CRUCIFY THE EAGLES FOR THEIR MISTAKE,BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN GIVING SOMEONE OR PEOPLE ANOTHER CHANCE WHEN THEY FAIL.


BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME.

I don't blame the coach in one bit because the government has blatantly refused to develop local leagues. Rorh had a tough time choosing his first eleven.

No be super eagles again

G

I'm not understanding

Those defenders deserve a very good slap

They should sell Super Eagles to Chinese FC

The match shock me walahi

Wahala for who bet on top super eagles

I couldn't help but watch tears roll down my cheek bones. Our football federation should be scrapped completely, the coach lacks ideas on how to turn things around for us. His substitutes were just useless. Nigerians have never had it this bad before. All round failure.

I believe that match was a form of protest in support of end SARS. Guys were planning to boycott the match before

I feel like biting that keeper...

I hear say Super Eagle coach go better pass as hotel manager than football manager.

At this point we should use some boys from Nigeria not super eagles jor



Apostolic women would have done better...

Quite pathetic. Nothing works in Nigeria

It's a sign...dem wan show Nigerians buhari 4+4 is an annoying bullshit to happen

The country is gradually crumbling. The fall of the zoo
