The Super Eagles of Nigeria is down by two goals
to nil as at the 35th minutes.
The Congolese took the lead courtesy of
Dieumerci Mbokani in the seventh minute. His
goal came from inside the box where he shot low
to the left of Carl Ikeme.
Jordan Nkololo added the second in the 31st
minute of the game.
Recall that one of Nigeria’s best goalkeepers,
Vincent Enyeama retired from active play with
Eagles to focus on his club career . Enyeama who
took to his Instagram page, ‘vinny 2908’, said he
has served Nigeria his best while in the pitch and
now, has retired from active play with Eagles to
focus on his club career.
“I have fought a good fight for more than 13 years.
I have finished my course, I have kept the faith
and sang the anthem with passion. henceforth,
there is laid for me a crown which only GOD can
reward me for my 13 years of national services.
God bless NIgeria.
“Henceforth, I am no more the captain of the
NIgerian senior football team, I am no more the
goalie of the team. I am out of the team. I am no
more available for international duties.
“I want to say thank you to every Nigerian fan and
supporter world wide. It’s been the most trying
period of my life but I know that Nigerians are
there for me and God is with me. God bless
NIgeria,” he said.
Recall that the former Eagles captain was recently
stripped of that title by the Eagles coach, Sunday
Oliseh and handed over to CSKA Moscow forward
Ahmed Musa, following an altercation between
them.
Although Oliseh has said the rift between him and
Enyeama has been sewn, he insisted that his
decision of stripping the former Eagles captain of
his title was based on discipline. ‘’I want a captain
who is disciplined. A leader who can motivate
other players. A player who comes to camp early.
I want a young player not a retiring player as
captain. And Ahmed Musa is that player. He is my
captain.’’
