The Super Eagles picked it from where they left it in the first half, in the second half as they piled up more pressure on their confused opponents.
The Super Eagles’ dominance was capped in the 90th minute after another well-orchestrated move gave the team the needed security. Ademola Lookman once again connected well with a well-laid cross by Calvin Bassey in the box and latched on the ball which couldn’t be stopped by helpless Fabrice Ondoa.
Shaibu on his official Social Media pages congratulated the Super Eagles with the caption — “Congratulations, resilient Super Eagles. Another one down, unto the next!”
