Despite a late 1-0 win against South Sudan in the ongoing African Games, the Flying Eagles of Nigeria failed to convince many of their abilities in their campaign. The match, which took place on Monday night at the Accra Sports Stadium, saw Charles Agada squander two goal-scoring opportunities late in the game.
Although Sadiq Isiyaka's penalty secured the victory for Nigeria, there are concerns about their midfield and attack's inability to connect with passes. The result against South Sudan means the Flying Eagles moved to second position in the Group B standings. Ladan Bosso's men are behind the Hippos of Uganda, who have six points from two games after beating Senegal 1-0 in the other group game clash.
The coaches of Falconets have done their own job, so it is left for Ladan Bosso and his technical crew to up their game and make sure that they actually lived up to expectations and turn up big time because this is not actually convincing enough. 'So for him to remain on his job, I believe he has to do what he knows how to do best and make sure Nigeria shines.
