Nothing good comes easy – Nigerians praise Super Eagles despite draw

Football lovers have reacted to Nigeria’s 1-1 draw against Cameroon in the return leg of the 2018 Fifa World Cup qualification game on Monday evening.

After a convincing 4-0 victory in Uyo on Saturday, Moses Simon gave Gernot Rohr’s an early lead in Yaounde with a 30th minute strike which turned out to be the only difference before the half-time break as they edge closer to a place in Russia next year.

With just 15 minutes left before the end of the encounter at the Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium, goalkeeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa upended Djoum Arnaud which resulted into a penalty kick that was beautifully taken by Porto’s Vincent Aboubakar to give the Hugo Broos' men a goal in front of their home fans.
