“The Eagles have always soared over the Bafana Bafana of South Africa anytime they meet in a competitive game or tournament.
“It’s a case of senior brother beating his younger brother and I am happy Nigeria lived up to expectation,” he said
Samson Amoo, said he was very impressed with the team, especially the young star, Chukwueze, for his brilliant play and providing the opener for Nigeria.
“This Super Eagles are really superb with the way they have been approaching each game, and beating their rivals; it gives me the confidence that they will reach the finals.
“I want to commend the coach, Gernot Rohr, and his technical team for their strategies, they are really working, and thus have also built confidence in Nigerians that the Eagles can win the cup.
“I just want Nigerians to continue to support and pray for the team, with God on our side, the Nations cup is coming to Nigeria again,” he said
Mr Eche Amos, a sports writer and analyst, said Nigeria was not unaware of the threats of South Africa in spite of previous statistics in their favour.
“The Eagles first approached the game with vigour, deployed their tactical ability which paid off when Iwobi neutralised the Rainbow Nation’s and picking up Chukwueze gave his all to justify his inclusion in the starting 11.
“The Eagles worked harder, physically, and showed the South Africans that winning Egypt couldn’t have been replicated against them.
“In all, NIgeria played largely according to their game plan and it worked for them as they capitalised on the complacency of their South African counterparts,” he said. (NAN)
