Four European clubs, Watford, Rangers, Leicester City and
Sparta Rotterdam have commended the Super Eagles for qualifying for the next
round of the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
The Super Eagles had qualified for the knockout stages of
the ongoing 2021 AFCON tournament in Cameroon after topping Group D.
Augustine Eguavoen’s side had defeated Egypt 1-0 last
Tuesday and defeated Sudan 3-1 at the weekend to top the group with 6 points
from two games ahead of their final group fixture against Guinea-Bissau on
Wednesday.
Against the Sudanese on Saturday, goals from Samuel
Chukwueze, Taiwo Awoniyi and Moses Simon gave the three-time champions a
three-goal lead.
Although Sudan pulled one back through a penalty, it was
merely a consolation goal.
Reacting to Super Eagles’ qualification, Watford, in a tweet
on Twitter, wrote: “Into the AFCON2021 knockouts! Congrats to William
Troost-Ekong and @OkoyeMaduka on their 3-1 win over Sudan with TeamNigeria.”
Similarly, Rangers wrote: “A 3-1 victory for @J_Aribo19 and
TeamNigeria today to book their spot in the last 16.”
Also, Leicester City wrote: “lcfc’s @Ndidi25 and @67Kelechi
starred for Nigeria in a 3-1 win over Sudan as the Super Eagles soar into the
last-16 at AFCON2021.”
Similarly, Sparta Rotterdam wrote: “Another win, games,
points TeamNigeria @OkoyeMaduka.”
