AFCON 2021: Four European clubs respond to Super Eagles leap to knockout stages

Four European clubs, Watford, Rangers, Leicester City and Sparta Rotterdam have actually commended the Super Eagles for getting approved for the next round of the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

The Super Eagles had actually received the knockout stages of the ongoing 2021 AFCON tournament in Cameroon after topping Group D.

Augustine Eguavoen’s side had beat Egypt 1-0 last Tuesday and defeated Sudan 3-1 at the weekend to top the group with 6 points from two video games ahead of their final group fixture against Guinea-Bissau on Wednesday.

Against the Sudanese on Saturday, goals from Samuel Chukwueze, Taiwo Awoniyi and Moses Simon offered the three-time champions a three-goal lead.

Although Sudan pulled one back through a penalty, it was merely an alleviation goal.

Responding to Super Eagles’ certification, Watford, in a tweet on Twitter, composed: “Into the AFCON2021 knockouts! Congrats to William Troost-Ekong and @OkoyeMaduka on their 3-1 win over Sudan with TeamNigeria.”

Likewise, Rangers wrote: “A 3-1 triumph for @J_Aribo19 and TeamNigeria today to schedule their area in the last 16.”

Leicester City wrote: “lcfc’s @Ndidi25 and @ 67Kelechi starred for Nigeria in a 3-1 win over Sudan as the Super Eagles skyrocket into the last-16 at AFCON2021.”

Similarly, Sparta Rotterdam composed: “Another win, games, points TeamNigeria @OkoyeMaduka.”
