Super Eagles interim head coach, Augustine Eguavoen, has shared his thoughts on Nigeria’s 1-0 victory against Libya in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match on Friday.
The game, held at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, saw Fisayo Dele-Bashiru score the decisive goal in the 90th minute.
Eguavoen expressed satisfaction with the win but noted his expectation of more goals, given Libya’s defensive approach throughout the match.
“I expected us to score more goals. Overall, we are happy to maintain our top spot. I was feeling bad, but we kept pushing and progressing. Emotions were high. Libya defended in numbers, and we are happy to win,” Eguavoen told reporters after the match.
He added that while the team had a slower start in the first half, the second half showed improvement in speed and intensity, which eventually led to the winning goal.
