All the elements are in Nigeria’s favour. The Super Eagles on Tuesday bought over the locals in Garoua, Cameroun, with a masterclass display against hitherto dreaded Egypt that the new neutrals could not help but applaud Austin Eguavoen and his wards as they beat the record winners of the Africa Cup of Nations 1-0.

Going into today’s match, which begins by 5.00 p.m. Nigerian time, the Super Eagles will be bolstered by the fact that they have won five of their last six encounters with Sudan. And from recent performances, the Nigerian lads are expected to extend their dominance in Garoua before going on to face Guinea Bissau in their final group game.

The gloom that initially enveloped Super Eagles’ camp following the forced absence of six of their top stars, including Leon Balogun, Emmanuel Dennis, Victor Osimhen, Paul Onuachu, Odion Ighalo and Oghenekaro Etebo, has given way to optimism. The senior players in the current have stepped up top the plate, such that the Eagles have now been installed as one of the favourites for the title.

“We are completely focused on our match against Sudan. Beating Egypt was not easy, and we are looking forward to continuing our victories and qualifying for the next round.”
