Nigeria’s 2-1 comeback victory over Madagascar in their opening 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier has sparked mixed reactions among football fans.
The Super Eagles fell behind early at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo before George Ilenikhena levelled the score and Moses Usor scored the winning goal to secure all three points.
While some Nigerian supporters praised the team for fighting back to claim victory, others criticised the performance and called on several players to improve in subsequent matches.
Some fans also described the result as fortunate, expressing concerns about the team’s display despite securing the win.
The victory leaves Nigeria second in Group L, behind Guinea-Bissau on goal difference.
Guinea-Bissau defeated Tanzania 2-0 in their opening fixture, with Franculino Djú opening the scoring in the 33rd minute before Mama Baldé added the second in the 58th minute.
The Super Eagles will face Guinea-Bissau away on Tuesday, September 29, in their next qualifying fixture.
