Former Nigerian international, Mutiu Adepoju has commended the Super Eagles for their impressive performance against Sao Tome in Sunday’s 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
Recall that Victor Osimhen scored thrice as Nigeria dispatched Sao Tome and Principe 6-0 at the Goodswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo.
With the win, Nigeria sealed their spot as the winners of Group A in the qualifiers for the Ivory Coast tournament billed for next year.
Nigeria played six matches en route to qualification for the competition. They lost one and other games to finish as group leaders with 15 points. Their only defeat was against Guinea Bissau who pipped them 1-0 earlier in the year.
Reacting to the team’s victory, Adepoju told Completsports.com that the team’s massive win shows they are in for real business at the tournament proper.
“This is a very good win for the Super Eagles. And this exactly what the Super Eagles are known for, beating opponent with many goals, so that people will know that they mean real business.
“I really think everyone of them performed wonderfully well and for us to win we have to continue with this kind of performance.”
