Nigeria interim coach, Augustine Eguavoen, has actually said that his players should get the ‘most credit’ after defeating Guinea-Bissau at the continuous 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) on Wednesday.

Recall that the Super Eagles defeated Guinea-Bissau in their final Group D fixture on Wednesday night, thanks to objectives from Umar Sadiq and William Troost-Ekong.

Eguavoen’s males certified as Group D winners with the maximum points.

Nigeria will now face the very best third-placed team from Groups B, E or F in the Round of 16.

Speaking at his post-match press conference, Eguavoen said, “So, they [Guinea-Bissau] gave us a run for the cash, however at the end of the day we were able to get those two objectives and I am extremely pleased with the performance.

“The most credit needs to go to the gamers for doing whatever we told them to do.”

Nigeria are currently seen as favourites to win the prize once again along with hosts Cameroon.
