Ahmed Musa Scores As Super Eagles Thrash Seychelles
The Super Eagles of Nigeria on Saturday, September 8, picked up their first 3 points in the qualifying campaign for the 2019 African Cup of Nations after defeating Seychelles 3 – 0 at the Stade Linite.
Captain Ahmed Musa opened the scoring in spectacular fashion in the 15th minute, while goals from Chidozie Awaziem and Odion Ighalo saw the Super Eagles pick their first win of the qualifiers, with debutant Samuel Kalu causing havoc to the Pirates defence.
Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr opted for a 4-4-2 against the Pirates with some of the players from the World Cup unavailable for various reasons.
Nigeria have their first three points in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifying group level on points with South Africa and Libya. South Africa will play against Libya today at the Moses Mabhida stadium.
