Reacting to the game, a civil servant, Emmanuel Udegwu, said the match was a well-matched battle between two opponents, saying, “despite having numerous opportunities, unfortunately, we were unable to convert them. However, I believe that the team needs to improve their conversion rate.

For his part, Ayiloge Idowu said: “I am thrilled that we have qualified, however, I believe there was room for improvement. We could have outperformed Equatorial Guinea, who triumphed over Ivory Coast with a remarkable 4-0 victory.”

A Vulganiser, Sunday Lamidi, stated that he was extremely pleased that the Super Eagles have successfully qualified for the round of 16.

However, he was concerned about the low conversation rate of the national team. To him, “Victor Osimhen missed opportunities during the match. If he had scored on those chances, we could have easily won by more than one goal.

“Nonetheless, despite this minor setback, I am still overjoyed with our team’s overall performance and cannot wait to see what they will accomplish in the next round.”
