Omo, make I tell you, Nigeria dey shine for dat their AFCON opening match wey dem play against Tanzania for Fez, Morocco. E be like say dem don come ready to chop gold. As the match start, naija boys dey display beta football, even though dem miss plenty chances.
Wetin happen be say, Semi Ajayi, wey play for Hull City, carry the team go front as him score di only goal of di half. Omo, dis goal na beautiful header from Iwobi cross around 36 minutes. As e land for Ajayi head, e just power am inside bottom-left corner, no chance for Tanzania goalkeeper Zuberi Foba.
Tanzania try hold dem ground, but dem dey shake as Nigeria dey bombard dem with chances. Na so the first half end with Nigeria leading 1-0, but if dem no sharp, e fit turn different story for second half.
Victor Osimhen, the main man for Nigeria attack, don dey vex for di Tanzania defenders. Dem don dey mark am like say na dem want carry am go market. But na him dey try find space to unleash fire, still we no see dat big goal from am today.
Nigeria dey hold 62% possession for di first half, but e clear say dem need to turn dat dominance into goals. Ndidi try show dem road as him shot no dey miss, but Tanzania defense dey stand gidigba. Wetin make am interesting be say, Tanzania no dey afraid to make dem mind, as Msuva and Samatta dey look for chances to level di score.
Coach Eric Chelle for Nigeria no dey smile, as e dey shout for di boys to step up. E be like say dem dey try play on top wet grass wey wet, but dem gats focus if dem want carry dis win follow dem comot for group stage.
As dem dey enter di second half, we go need more of dat superstar energy from Osimhen, if Nigeria wan carry di day. If dem fit maintain dis momentum and no miss dem chances, wey dem dey plenty now, wetin you think? Naija fit lift AFCON trophy again this year?
