President Muhammadu
Buhari has sent a congratulatory message to the Super Eagles over their
stunning 4-2 comeback win against Argentina in Tuesday’s international friendly
game in Krasnodar, Russia.
The Eagles found
themselves trailing 2-0 following goals from Ever Banega and Sergio Aguero.
However, the Eagles
struck back with goals from Kelechi Iheanacho (who bagged two assists),
debutant Bryan Idowu and Alex Iwobi who scored twice.
Deportivo La Coruna’s
18-year-old goalkeeper, Francis Uzoho, also made his debut for the Super Eagles
coming on in the second half.
The Argentines were
without inspirational skipper Lionel Messi who flew back to Spain to resume
preparation ahead of Barcelona’s away league clash against Leganes next
weekend.
Meanwhile, he was in
action when Argentina pipped hosts of next year’s World Cup, Russia, 1-0 in
another friendly game on Saturday.
Reacting to the win
against the Argentines, President Buhari wrote on his verified Twitter
handle:”Congratulations to our soaring Super Eagles, and to all Nigerians, on
tonight’s victory against Argentina.”
