Episode 44: Iheanacho helps Nigeria start AFCON with a bang in impressive 1-0 win over Egypt!
Listen now
Description
Kelechi Iheanacho scored a banger for the Super Eagles in our very impressive 1-0 win over Egypt on Tuesday in Garoua to send us top of Group D after the 1st round of matches. It’s safe to say the team exceeded all expectations considering what we had seen under Gernot Rohr and it was probably the best performance from Nigeria in a good 2/3 years especially considering the opponent. Coupled with the goalless draw between Sudan & Guinea-Bissau, the result puts Nigeria firmly in the driving seat to top the group and a win on Saturday against Sudan will guarantee our qualification to the knockout stages and could see us clinch top spot in the group if Egypt & Guinea-Bissau draw or we’ll need just a solitary point from our final group game to do so. I also previewed the Sudan game and touched on the results from the other groups after Match-day 1 Check out our Youtube Channel where you can also watch the episode: https://bit.ly/NigeriaFootballWeekly Twitter - https://twitter.com/NFWPod Host: @GoonerTwin Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nigeriafootballweekly/ Facebook page Link - https://www.facebook.com/NigeriaFootballWeekly Email - [email protected] Anchor Link:  https://anchor.fm/nigeriafootballweekly Podfollow:  https://podfollow.com/nigeria-football-weekly --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/nigeriafootballweekly/message
