AFCON Qualifiers: Super Eagles beat Congo 2-0 in Revenge Attack

 

The Super Eagles on Saturday showed Champions stuff when they secured a crucial 0-2 win over Congo at Pointe Noire  in return leg match of the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

The Eagles now need a win over South Africa to seal their place amongst the sixteen teams that would compete in Africa's biggest football tournament.

The Two goals came in second half from returnee striker Ik Uche and Aaron Samuel.

Today's win for Nigeria, was hard earned with the likes of Godfery Oboabona ending with torn jerseys and Azubieke Egwueke with a bandaged head.

The Congolese fans were hostile throwing all sorts of materials into the pitch as Nigeria was two-goal lead. The development saw the Congo Nigeria game been temporarily suspended for over six minutes

At least we are happy the Super Eagle avenged the shock defeat they suffered in the hands of the Congo team in Calabar in the first leg of the match.

Nigeria is now in second spot in Group A with seven points from 5 games.
