The Super Eagles of Nigeria on Friday rounded off the qualifiers of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations with a 3-1 victory over Seychelles at the Stephen Keshi Stadium, Asaba Delta State.
Odion Ighalo converted a penalty in the 35th minute to hand Eagles the first goal only for the Pirates to equalize few minutes later capitalizing on miscalculation by goalkeeper Francis Uzoho.
Kingley Onyekweru however lifted the Eagles again in the 50th minute and late substitute Moses Simon proved that he was indeed a good material when he produced the icing on the cake just few minutes after being introduced in the pitch.
The Match appeared to have given Coach Gernot Rohr an opportunity to experiment new play pattern. The German tactician paid more attention to operating through the middle as opposed to usual wing play.
The team will now focus on shaping up for the Nations cup in June, with friendly match against Pharaohs of Egypt on Tuesday at the same venue.
