Nigeria Defeat Cameroun 3-0

But Nigeria were a transformed team against Cameroon, three rankings higher in Africa, and goals by Efe Ambrose, Moses Simon and Idion Ighalo secured a morale-boosting success. “We all put in our best to achieve the result”, Musa said after the match.

Oliseh, who was visibly relieved after the game, promised to continue working on the team to get the right mix. “We showed signs of improvement today (Sunday) and we are going to build on that”, he said.

The Eagles bounced back from Thursday’s loss to Congo to trounce their age-long rivals, despite an ugly spat between Oliseh and former goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama.

It is the third straight year Ahmed Musa has been nominated for the award.

Ogba insisted that Enyeama was forced into retirement adding the Lille goalkeeper was still relevant to the national team.

The Oliseh-Enyeama row overshadowed the clash with the Congolese and may have distracted the 10th-ranked African side. “A few of his mates are still active”, Ogba submitted.

“No player launches his career through the social media”.

The Super Eagles will be out to redeem themselves after being humbled 2-0 by DR Congo on Thursday night.

The global friendly matches were arranged by Nigeria’s Football Federation to prepare the Super Eagles ahead of the World Cup qualifier in November.

“In the game against Congo, I saw a very good team… we had more possession even though there were shortcomings in certain areas. I still need to work hard on my game”, he said.

Although, there is still a lot work to be done in the team.

“I’m not under pressure as I have experienced it as a player in the past as well”.

“Bravo guys, great win”, the Kasimpasa defender wrote.
