Former Nigerian goalkeeper, Andrew Aikhomogbe has urged the Super Eagles to redeem their image by beating the Central Africa Republic (CAR) in Douala in the reverse fixture of the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

The Super Eagles sit top on six points while Cape Verde (second spot) and CAR (third spot) are currently on four points apiece, leaving Liberia on 4th place on three points.

Reacting to the team’s defeat, Aikhomogbe from his base in Cairo, Egypt told Completesports.com that the Super Eagles will bounce back to winning ways in the reverse fixture.

He urged the players to play CAR like every other quality teams in the world .

“The mistake has been made as far as I am concern. Losing to the Central Africa Republic is the only thing that made me feel upset, not even at the Teslim Balogun Stadium. Yes, we controlled the game but I sense the players underestimated the Central Africa Republic.

“This is not the time for blame games but instead, they should buckle up and face the reverse fixture like a cup final. The players must redeem their image and ensure they (CAR) pay for beating us.”
