Super Eagles interim coach, Austin Eguavoen, shared his thoughts on Victor Boniface’s performance, highlighting the striker’s potential and challenges in scoring for the national team. Eguavoen mentioned that Boniface has struggled to convert chances in national colors due to decision-making issues in crucial moments. Despite this, Eguavoen expressed confidence in Boniface’s ability to improve and score more goals with better timing. The Super Eagles secured a vital 1-0 victory over Libya in an AFCON 2025 qualifier, with Fisayo Dele-Bashiru scoring the winning goal late in the game. The match was tough, with Nigeria facing difficulty breaking down Libya’s defense until Dele-Bashiru’s contribution. In the absence of Victor Osimhen, Boniface, Ademola Lookman, and Moses Simon led Nigeria’s attack. Nigeria dominated possession but struggled to capitalize on chances, with missed opportunities from Chukwueze and Lookman. Despite the challenges, Dele-Bashiru’s goal sealed the win, boosting Nigeria’s position in Group D with seven points and enhancing their AFCON 2025 qualification prospects.
