AFCON qualifiers: Nigerians react to Super Eagles’ 3-1 win over Tanzania

Nigerians on social media have reacted to the Super Eagles’ AFCON qualifier 3-1 win against Tanzania on Friday.

Recall that a goal from Alhassan Yusuf and a brace from Tolu Arokodare gave Nigeria the victory against Tanzania at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo.

The Super Eagles will face Tanzania in the return leg at Amaan Stadium in Zanzibar on Tuesday.

The outcome of the match leaves Eric Chelle’s men in second position in Group L with six points from three games, while Tanzania sit at the bottom with one point from the same number of matches.

Group leader Guinea-Bissau tops the table with seven points from three matches, while Madagascar sit in third place with two points.

Reacting to Nigeria’s victory against Tanzania , some Nigerians hailed Arokodare for stepping up in Victor Osimhen’s absence, while others criticised the team for conceding a goal against Tanzania.

Here are some comments gathered by DAILY POST on X:

@Exspeedikay1: “Instant response from the Super Eagles of Nigeria against Tanzania. This what we need from them man to man marking which made Tanzania to not keep up. Great Goal from Akor Adams, nice teamwork play. AFCON we coming.”

@ChrisSweetman6: “Just watched Tolu Arokodare score twice as a second half substitute for the Super Eagles of Nigeria. If not coach madness,why on Earth did Eric Chelle kept him on the bench?”

@legal2316: “Great teamwork from the Super Eagles. The players are really connecting, the chemistry is building, and the performance speaks for itself. What a team performance.”

@impossible: “Akor’s choice to go Venezia is the wrongest move ever. He has so much drop in quality.”

@delawfredrick10: “Super eagles needs to stop wasting chances. We should have been up by 5 goals in this game. Eric chelle you still have lots of work to do with this squad.”

@ELEGBETE1SPORTS: “Even Tanzania?Who no go score against Nigeria for football self. Well, let’s hope this spur them to go score more against Tanzania.”

@Legend72157: “No Oshimen for Super Eagles. Tolu Arokodare steps up for the call.”

@Keanziy: “I have two comments to make. 1. There is no reason why Tanzania should score us. 2. There is also no reason why we shouldn’t score 3-5 goals at home.”
