Nigerian Eagles stands as a great team –Senong

The Super Eagles have received an accolade from

Lesotho coach Thabo Senong after they defeated his team 4-2 in their 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier clash on Sunday in Maseru.

South African was defeated by Nigeria from a goal down to side 4-2 in the encounter.

The very first goal was by Alex Iwobi in the 26th minute.

Further goals came from Samuel Chukwueze and Victor Osimhen, with two, before Chidozie Awaziem scored an own goal to ensure the game ended 4-2.

Senong conceded the Super Eagles were a very smart team, and praised them for coming back into the game, and winning from 1-0 down.

“For me, I don’t have much to say about our defeat to Nigeria, I think to come back from 1-0 down to win is not that easy,” Senong told reporters.

“I will say we played against a very good team today.”

Nigeria will host Lesotho in the return leg of the encounter on November 9, 2020. Lesotho’s next qualifier is a double-header against Benin in August and September 2020.
