In the three matches played in Egypt, the Eagles have scored twice from a total of just eight shots on target while the goalkeepers – Daniel Akpeyi and Ikechukwu Ezenwa – have made 12 saves from their group opponents.The team captain, Mikel Obi, explained in a post-match interview after the 2-0 loss to Madagascar that the Eagles, “haven’t really found our way to play – we haven’t played well but we have won two games.
As the team prepares for its Round of 16 encounter against either of Ghana, Benin, or Guinea-Bissau from Group F, there is the palpable fear that this team, coached by Rohr, cannot come back from a set back because of the antecedents. The only match the Eagles have not lost after conceding the first goal was a friendly against Senegal in March 2017. Moussa Sow opened the scoring for the Senegalese and Kelechi Iheanacho equalised through a penalty kick, seven minutes from time.
Champions are known to have the ability to stage fight-backs and the best of Eagles’ history is replete for famous comebacks – a quality Rohr’s Eagles must show again in Egypt.
