Sudan forward Abdel Raouf Yagoub has mocked the home-based Super Eagles following their Group B encounter at the 2024 African Nations Championship.
Kwesi Appiah’s side thrashed Nigeria 4-0 in the game played at the Amman Stadium, Zanzibar on Tuesday night.
Yagoub’s shot was deflected into the net by Leonard Ngenege for Sudan’s opening goal in the 25th minute.
Walieldin Khdir converted from the spot to double Sudan’s advantage one minute before the break.
Yagoub then netted twice in the second half to complete the rout.

Sudan’s Perfect Tactics
Yagoub declared that they capitalised on Nigeria’s weakness to win the game.
“They are very slow on the ball and their recovery rate is very poor — that’s what we capitalised on,” he said after the game.
” Their defence made a lot of mistakes, their strikers are slow, and when our coach said all we needed was quick contact play and to get the ball into the 18, we executed it perfectly.”
Next Task For Sudan
The Falcons now occupy top spot on the Group D standings with four points from three games.
Yagoub, and his teammates will now shift attention to their last group game against defending champions Senegal.
A draw will be enough for them to book a place in the quarter-finals.

Without reform Nigeia will never get it right in local league never ever.
For how long are going to keep saying it that there is big problem with how we administer sport in Nigeria.
Can someone tell me if anybody among the local player deserve super eagle call up.
Yet useless quota will be reserve for home base player in se team.
Lies may fly for twenty years, one day just one day truth will catch up with that same lie.
Now, let’s get this right!
It will take a miracle for Nigeria to win this African Nations Championship. Why?
Most of the Africans players playing in this Championship are playing in their various Teams A national teams.
Like South Africa, more than 50% of their local players also play for their national team A.
If our main Super Eagles should play Sudan National team today, don’t be surprised to see the same sets of players facing the likes of Iwobi, Lukman, Ndidi and co.
In conclusion, Nigeria needs to fix our local league from the root.
That sudanese player said something that i expected forumites to respond to but all are blaming the players. In as much as I blame the defender for the 2 errors that led to the goals , I will not fail to blame the coach for poor tactics.. The sudenese player mentioned poor tactics. Our recovery rate was so poor.. Personally i noticed it. Also the defenders were so slow . This led to the goal scored by Senegal and the routing by sudan. If chelle was a good Coach he should have noticed this weaknesses during camping and corrected them. Are u telling me that that guy is the best home best defender in The NPL. If I should jusge chelle base on his tactis in this championship i dont think Nigeria will make it to the world cup. He is amateurish. Not paying attention to details like Rohr, and late kechi
You chat so much sh*t Mr Arara Kumbie.
Mr Yabaoh.
Mr Ipetu Madu.
Son of darkness .
I am calling you out to fight you dog food Douchebag.
$100k in the mud, lol.
When a bunch of very old men claim to be in their teens after debuting in npfl years ago, why will they not truly act their age?
Imagine Taofeek is 19 years when he debuted in nnl in 2019. So, Oga was 13 years?
Mustapha the keeper is 25 years with no command of his wall.
That defender at fault for the first 2 goals is still 17 years. Haba now! So, we can conclude his inexperience was at play yesterday. I laugh.
Yusuf is 20? After playing for Nassarawa united in 2018 for the first time?
Those are the ages that deceive glasshouse to harass our national team coaches to blood local “young” players in the national team.
Ah, I wonder what under 20 team of 2025 would look like when it’s players with unreal age that are in npfl which is its source pool of talent.
Long may it be that foreign born, foreign bred, foreign trained, foreign tutored Nigerian players are perpetually begged, cajoled, placated, and massaged to choose us even when their countries of birth have no need of them.
If not, our football relevance would have since been compared with San Marino.
Little wonder, we are close to missing out of consecutive senior world cups for the first time ever: unfruitful, unserious, bribe giving, untouchable, slot-oiled, outlived-their-usefulness, even godfather-engineered players have prevented the super eagles from being hungry and desperate for success at the expense of people who know the meaning of international football.
What changed? Most of the players who frittered our 2022 WC chance are STILL IN THE SAME SQUAD THAT IS DESPERATELY AWAITING FIFA DEDUCTIONS ON SOUTH AFRICA to give them a semblance of revival.
What if Lesotho, Zimbabwe decided to trade off their points to SA? We are still gone.
And the same set of players might still be available to pursue 2030 ambitions because there are no consequences for taking an entire nation for granted
Another point to note about Nigeria is the fact that cheap food that most nations find as normal becomes golden in Nigeria: Then you come to understand that our athletes are not only malnourished but hungry people.
How can an hungry man perform or think well?? Poverty is real in Nigeria. Anyone who doubts me should travel outside and see how food is treated like nothing. But come to Nigeria if you can afford chicken then you’re a rich person. Meanwhile Chicken is like a daily routine for homes and even mama put outside Nigeria.
Athletes must get basic necessity if you want them to perform at a high level. Remo Stars is the only club in that country that provides everything footballers need but we can not rely on just 1 club to be a successful nation. Let the CEO of Remo stars lead the League without conflict of interest and you’ll see the rules he’ll lay out for other clubs to follow. Sudanese and others can look darker than us but goto their base and see what they enjoy, then you’ll understand that they’re not joking.
Come Serious World Cup Qualifier Who wants to take a bet that Ex internationals and some Fans will be clamouring for the inclusion of Local Players in Super Eagles WHO WANTS TO BET!!!
@ Ugo, there is nothing to bet here, those useless players are meal ticket for those crooks in the glass house and some agents. So they will try to smuggle in one or two names.
Those criminals have no shame at all and they have there cronies in the media outlet who do there dirty biddings for them.
I just hope Chelle has learnt his lesson and put his foot down else he will be toast as only qualifying for World Cup will save his job.
(Dumb Squad) Useless team very shameful stop calling this home base B super eagles aaaabeg…..
Neverever address them as super eagles
Chelle is a good coach. Nigeria super eagle can never qualify for the next world cup qualifiers
NFF should go for Rennard. Former Zambia and cite ivory nation cup winning coach
NFF. Appoint Chelle because he accepted cheap pay cut and compromise with our football administrator
I am Arara Kumbie.
I am Ipetu Madu
I am Yabaoh.
Hypocrisy is accusing others of a crime you created. Lols.
Son of the light. More like that 1970s New York serial killer Son of Sam.
This fool, if I start using the name *Son of Sam” on this platform, that is how this Four Four Two idiot will steal it, or “chance” it like they say in his Ajegunle parlance.
Doofus
Anybody wey Thunder wan fire make them clamor for home based players to be invited to the main SuperEagles again.
That our home-based players are slow isn’t really so much of a surprise to me. Watching an old man like Ahmed Musa sprinting past defenders in the NPFL already convinced me that it’s either most NPFL players are as old as Ahmed Musa or that they don’t just possess the right physical fitness attributes to compete at a high level.
Just taking a look at the faces of the players on parade, even though some people blindly argue you can’t estimate age range by physical appearance, no one can convince me the least amongst those players wouldn’t be less than 30 years old.
Why then are we deceiving ourselves? Our CHAN team isn’t serving any purpose. No player has ever broken out from the CHAN team to become a mainstay in the Main Super Eagles…..not from Salisu’s silver-winning team nor from Keshi’s bronze-winning squad. All our CHAN players have always faded away afterwards. So why not use the CHAN as a springboard to build and expose our U20 and U23 teams ahead of participation in the immediate future tournaments ahead of them.
And as for the NPFL itself, I hope one day we will have true administrators, committed to domestic sports development, who will help us evolve from the current joke we call a league.
