OGUN, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)-The Super Eagles of Nigeria have failed to defeat their group stage match with Equatorial Guinea, eliciting shocking reactions from Nigerians on X.
Nigeria conceded the first goal of the encounter in the 36th minute when the defenders failed to clear a loose ball but reigning African Footballer of the year, Victor Osimhen, equalised two minutes later.
For most part of the match, the three-time AFCON winners had the chances to finish up the match but were rather wasteful with all the chances they created.
The fans of the team have now reacted to the results, with most of them exhibiting huge disappointments in the team.

The same spirit holding Nigeria🇳🇬 from having good leaders, is the same spirit not allowing us progress in sports, but of course… We are not ready for that conversation!”
