AFCON 2023 HAS BEEN SO WONDERFUL. FOR THE SUPER EAGLE. HAVING STRUGGLED TO GET THIS TALE BY THE END OF THE TOURNAMENT, IT IS INSTRUCTIVE TO THAT THIS GAME SEEMS TO FAVOR THE EAGLES GOING BY MY STATISTICS. OK, IN THIS POST, I TRY TO BUTTRESS THE GENUINE GAINS OF THE SUPER EAGLES OF NIGERIA OVER IVORY COST AND OTHER COUNTRIES IN THIS TOURNAMENT 2023. PLEASE READ BELOW.
Super Eagles defeated host nation Ivory Coast at the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations
But it was another frustrating performance from star player Victor Osimhen, despite earning the penalty that facilitated the win.
Referee Mustapha Ghorbal was awarded the spot kick after consulting video replays and deciding Ousmane Diomande had fouled Osimhen.
Troost-Ekong took responsibility and confidently fired the penalty down the center of the goal in the 55th.

Osimhen missed the game’s best early chance when he shot high and wide after being played through by Samuel Chukwueze.
The home team had more of the ball, but Nigeria edged the number of efforts at goal in the first half — seven compared to six from Ivory Coast.
