Nigeria, Algeria Relieve MAROC ’88 Hostilities via thisdaylive
The Super Eagles of Nigeria will Sunday, take on the Desert Foxes of Algeria in the first semifinal of the 2019 Africa up of Nations in what is expected to be an explosive encounter.
“The next match in a championship is always the toughest, so it is always important to approach it that way. That is why we must now forget what we achieved against South Africa in our quarter-final match and start to build up towards the semi-final. As a morale booster to the team, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, made a pledge of $50,000 to the team for every goal in their remaining two matches at the championship, while Femi Otedola pledged the sum of $25,000 for every goal.
Meanwhile, the Nigeria Football Supporters Club, South Africa chapter, has urged the Super Eagles to remain focused and committed to being able to soar above their high-flying Algerian counterparts in the semi-finals of the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt. He appealed to the team’s head coach, Gernot Rohr, to ensure that his squad for the match is the same as that which will play the last match.At the same stage of the competition, Nigeria defeated Algeria 10-9 on penalty shootouts after playing 1-1 at extra time, in a match both sides ended with a man down-Nigeria lost a player to a red card, while the Algerians lost a player to the hard tackle of Bright Omokaro.
He therefore charged this current team to play with the same spirit against the Algerians tomorrow. I’m not saying they should go there to injure their opponent, rather, they should give their all and be focused on winning the trophy,” he said.
