After garnering three points from as many matches, Nigeria’s campaign for a ticket to the 2026 FIFA World Cup has been the worst in over four decades.After a not-too-impressive performance against South Africa in Uyo on Friday, Finidi has promised that his wards would bounce back from what was generally seen by home fans as a disappointing match.Nigeria currently stands second from behind with three points while the Republic of Benin is in third position on five points.
However, with Nigeria aware of the potential danger ahead, the Super Eagles must redouble their efforts as a loss tonight will spell doom for them.
