No Comments on Nigeria close to Qatar 2022 world cup qualification and Ahmed Musa becomes most capped player in Super Eagles win over Liberia

The 29 year old winger marked his 102 cap that took him past Yobo and Enyeama with a late goal from the penalty spot after Osimehen also put Nigeria ahead with a goal from the penalty spot.

Super eagles started the game quite stronger than Liberia in Tangier and it did not take long for them to open the scoring at the Stade Ibn Batouta.

Alot of the players were in fine form like goal kepper Maduka Okoye who made some eye catching saves to keep Super Eagles in the game and Everton midfielder Alex Iwobi was also in fine form but there was no place for the returning Odion Ighalo .

Nigeria now lead the group and are in good position to qualify for the 2022 wolrd cup in Qatar if they can avoid defeat at Teslim Balogun Stadium in Lagos on Tuesday as they entertain Cape Verde.

No Comments on We miss the leadership, experience and goals – Super Eagles Coach Gernot Rohr on Ighalo recall

The Super Eagles coach confirmed he put the former Manchester United striker in his provisional squad because the team miss his experience, goals and leadership.

Gernot Rohr said the current Super Eagles team have a lot of youngsters and they will learn a lot from Ighalo’s presence in the team.

“I put him in the bigger provisional first list for the next games, Rohr said in a Q&A on Elegbete TV. He is doing very well at his club, and he still has the ambition to help his country. Because we miss his leadership, we miss his experience. We miss the goals he scores. He was the best scorer at the AFCON, the best scorer during the qualifiers, and I think we have so many young players, and they could learn a lot on the side of such a great player. Ighalo is a very important man. I hope that he can come back,”

Odion Ighalo retired from the Super Eagles after the 2019 Afcon Nations cup where he was the highest goal scorer and helped Nigeria to a third place finish.
