Many thought the the home-based Eagles, won' t be able to fly past their fellow West African neighbours, but they got thrilled with an entertaining game as they thrashed the 'Menas' of Niger by four goals, which their opponent were able to pull one back, through Zakari Adebayor.
Was the Victory Worth Celebrated?
No doubts, the Super Eagles gaffer, Sunday Oliseh knows what he is doing, but a victory against a team that many see as the under- dog in group C, which has Tunisia, Guinea, Niger and Nigeria it self.
Winning the first game in any competitive tournament is very sacrosanct, not just winning, but also getting the much desire goals, which the ' Local Players' did, thanks to beautiful goals from Okoro and Chikartara Elvis, who scored and hat trick.
Nobody is saying the Eagles should not celebrate, but they should also have it ' pasted on their forehead' (Focus) that they face a more tactical team, which is Tunisia, and our North African brothers won't hesitate to feed on any little mistake we make, when we face them.
Was Oliseh Right To Make Early Changes?
As par the early changes made by Oliseh, nothing was wrong. He saw some players were not in the game and made early substitutions which paid off, although it might have been risky, if one the players had injury, but all in all, it worked out well.
We say congrats to the team and we hope to see them repeat same feat, when they square up against Tunisia in their next group game.
