Some Nigerian football fans have reacted to the Super Eagles’ 4-1 draw against Gabon in their 2026 World Cup qualifying playoff on Thursday.
DAILY POST reports that goals from Akor Adams, Chidera Ejuke and Victor Osimhen (2) gave Nigeria the victory against Gabon.
Mario Lemina’s goal was not enough for Gabon as the match ended in favour of the Super Eagles in Morocco.
Following the match, supporters took to their X accounts to share their thoughts on the World Cup playoff.
Here are some comments gathered by DAILY POST from X:
@damzy_drumz, “We are getting Closer.”
@VictorEno98284, “That game was stressful, we should have wrapped it up before full time, Ndidi was too good
Frederick was amazing, Iwobi was poor, Oshimen should have scored three goals or more. Those misses were so unforgivable, we moved to Sunday, the coach 10/10.”
@Herroyalflynex, “It’s a wrap!!! On to the next one, boys.”
@VirtueAmiofori, “Unto the next”.
@Assabur12, “We did it finally. Make Una dey prepare your USA visa and flight ticket money, don’t worry.”
@Herroyalflynex, “It’s a wrap!!! On to the next one, boys!!!”
@idowuzion123, “We never walk alone.”
@Abayommii, “What a match! Nwabali almost gave himself a heart attack, not me.”
@BigDee26, “A special recognition & appreciation to Benjamin Fredericks, dude is the 2nd coming of Taribo West, no cap, haven’t seen a Nigerian defender play with the level of composure and grit that he does since Taye Taiwo & Taribo era. At least now we have RWB on lockdown.”
@Mickytoro, “Eric Chelle has done an incredible coaching job with this team. The boys look like a proper unit and are getting stronger game after game. May that continue.”
@Fcb_ebenezer, “You didn’t have to embarrass Gabon in your bio.”
