The Super Eagles of Nigeria have recorded their third win in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers after defeating Cameroon 4-0.
A goal apiece from Odion Ighalo, Chelsea FC winger, Victor Moses; skipper Mikel Obi and substitute Kelechi Iheanacho ensured Nigeria grabbed the maximum three points at the Akwa Ibom Stadium in Uyo.
After a sluggish start, Ighalo puts Nigeria ahead after receiving a fine pass from Mikel in the 28th minute. The China-based forward, however, got yellow-carded for taking off his jersey while celebrating.
Mikel made it 2-0 in the 42nd when he latched onto a Victor Moses corner.
Eleven minutes into the second half, Victor Moses combined with gangling winger Moses Simon before slotting home from inside the box.
Iheanacho, who came in for injured Ighalo, made it 4-0 when he nodded past goalkeeper Fabrice Ondo from Ogenyi Onasi assist in 77th minute.
With the victory, Nigeria top Group B with nine points, while Cameroon have just two points from three matches.
It’s a real buffeting
Don’t you think massacre is a very harsh word… what happened to Good sportsmanship, Fair play, I think it’s unsportsmanlike to ridicule your opponent after you defeat them. Just because we’re lucky to win 4nil don’t mean we should let it get into our head.
Congratulations to the super Eagle, they did a wonderful job, and I wish them all the best in Yaounde on Monday.
