Former Super Eagles captain, Austin Jay Okocha, has actually blamed 2 players for the elimination of Nigeria from the ongoing 2021 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, in Cameroon by Tunisia.

Okocha said Super Eagles goalkeeper, Maduka Okoye and right-back, Ola Aina, must be delegated Tunisia’s match-winning goal against Augustine Eguavoen’s guys.

Remember that Tunisia had last Sunday sent the Super Eagles packing from the AFCON in the Round of 16, thanks to Youssef Msakni’s second-half goal.

But Okocha believes Okoye ought to have conserved Msakni’s long-range shot, while Aina would have fouled the Tunisia gamer prior to he took the shot.

“You anticipate when things go the incorrect method that the goalkeeper may conserve the day but I thought he went a bit early to his ideal side and after that it was difficult for him to change and make that save,” Okocha informed SuperSport.

“It was a well taken shot there by the Tunisian and fortunately for them that chose the game.”

On Aina, Okocha included: “You purchase a nasty, do something, stop the momentum of the video game and let your gamers recover, however he made it easier for them.”
