Former Nigerian international, Daniel Amokachi has applauded the Super Eagles defence for shutting down Cameroon from making any serious attack in the round of 16 of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
Recall that Nigeria defeated the Indomitable Lions 2-0 on Saturday, thanks to Ademola Lookman’s double.
Reacting to Nigeria’s victory, Amokachi during last night’s commentary on AfroSports AFCON coverage, stated that the quartet of William Troost-Ekong, Calvin Bassey, Ola Aina and Semi Ajayi have been solid at the back.

“Eagles defence have been so solid since the start of the competition. The likes of Troost-Ekong, Pla Aina, Celvin Bassey and Semi Ajayi have done so well at the back
“They made it difficult for Cameroon to make any good chances. Big credit to these guys because they are really solid.”
The Super Eagles will face Angola, who defeated Namibia 3-0 in the quarter finals of the tournament on Friday.

The first major surprise of this tournament will be Senegal losing to Coted’ivoire. This is noteworthy. Don’t say I didn’t tell you.
@Azeez,I think so too
Na so nau.
Amokachi is right on point. Besides, Rigobert song is now everywhere making noise, takking out of point because Eagles prevented his lads from playing their usual style.
He would’ve made a good musician, singing.
Hehehehe a clear display of bitterness.
Cameroonians are confused and can’t even compete.
Lenu lenu can be bitter because him like Song lulé one time. Really, come to think of it was Rigobert expecting to beat us to us it? Naaaaaah, na

Excellent tactics by veteran coach Jose Peseiro showed that Super Eagles solid defence in midfield and back line this was proved by SE got into them one goal from four matches, SE have been lacking defensive trait since 2013 when they have won the third AFCON. cup in South Africa, so this is new era for an organized SE strong and incredible team.
