Super Eagles forward Odion Ighalo was named man of the match in the side’s 3-2 win against the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon – an AFCON 2019 Second Round match at the Alexandria Stadium on Saturday, reports Completesports.com.
Ighalo grabbed a brace in the tightly contested encounter and also provided an assist for Alex Iwobi’s third goal.
The Shanghai Shenhua of China player has now scored three goals in the competition for Nigeria.
Ighalo is the third Nigerian player to have picked up the award in the competition.
Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi won the award in Nigeria’s first game against the Swallows of Burundi, while Kenneth Omeruo was selected as the best player in the Eagles’ second game against the Syli Nationale of Guinea.
Nigeria will face the winner of hosts Egypt and South Africa second round fixture in the quarterfinals.

Ighalo is the best striker in this AFCON right now. On his good day, he will single handedly destroy South Africa team on Wednesday.

Congratulations. The whole World stood for Nigeria today. L humble join millions of people around the Globe for this impossible feat. God loves Ighalo and our Iwobi for doing us proud
@Edoman, just shut your stupid mouth and hold your Congratulatory message to yourself. Prior to this match, you joined your faith with the league of Unreasonable haters ably headed by @Omo9ja. Calling the Coach, Ighalo and some other players bad names. Now they’ve won and you are acting like you are a true fan. Yeye dey smell. Better go back to your camp while we support Eagles till the end. Come Rain, Come Sun! We don’t want those that will come and be pretending like they are Real fans and when Nigeria looses a dead rubber, they call for the Coach to be sacked
That’s right. Edoman shut yahoo mouth. Am not sure u are an Edoman. Illiteracy dey worry u n your crew with negative vibes. Real super eagles fans are by d team win or loose.
Gbam. I’ve been so busy at work that I don’t have time for lengthy post. When these fair weather fans were raining abuses on Oga Rohr and Ighalo, I forewarned them not to change their camps. Now they are shamelessly back, chanting different tunes. Men without principles.
