The Super Eagles of Nigeria is down by two goals to nil as at the 35th minutes. The Congolese took the lead courtesy of Dieumerci Mbokani in the
seventh minute. His goal came from inside the box where he shot low to
the left of Carl Ikeme. Jordan Nkololo added the second in the 31st minute of the game.
Recall that one of Nigeria’s best goalkeepers, Vincent Enyeama retired from active play with Eagles to focus on his club career.
Enyeama who took to his Instagram page, ‘vinny 2908’, said he has
served Nigeria
his best while in the pitch and now, has retired from
active play with Eagles to focus on his club career.
“I have fought a good fight for more than 13 years. I have finished
my course, I have kept the faith and sang the anthem with passion.
henceforth, there is laid for me a crown which only GOD can reward me
for my 13 years of national services. God bless NIgeria.
“Henceforth, I am no more the captain of the NIgerian senior football
team, I am no more the goalie of the team. I am out of the team. I am
no more available for international duties.
“I want to say thank you to every Nigerian fan and supporter world
wide. It’s been the most trying period of my life but I know that
Nigerians are there for me and God is with me. God bless NIgeria,” he
said.
Recall that the former Eagles captain was recently stripped of that
title by the Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh and handed over to CSKA Moscow
forward Ahmed Musa, following an altercation between them.
Although Oliseh has said the rift between him and Enyeama has been
sewn, he insisted that his decision of stripping the former Eagles
captain of his title was based on discipline. ‘’I want a captain who is
disciplined. A leader who can motivate other players. A player who
comes to camp early. I want a young player not a retiring player as
captain. And Ahmed Musa is that player. He is my captain.’’
