Former Nigeria internationals Nwankwo Kanu and Mutiu Adepoju have saluted the Super Eagles, following their hardfought 1-0 win against Benin Republic in the 2021 AFCON qualifiers in Porto Novo on Saturday, Completesports.com reports.
The Eagles went into the Group L matchday five encounter having already qualified for next year’s AFCON, after Sierra Leone were held to a goalless draw by Lesotho.
Paul Onuachu was the hero as he netted an injury-time goal off a corner, to end Benin’s eight-year run without defeat at home.
