Super Eagles midfielder John Ogu has applauded his teammates after their impressive 2-2 draw against Ukraine in Dnipro on Tuesday night, stating that the future remains bright for the national team.
The former Hapoel Be’er Sheva midfielder who was overlooked for the match, also hailed the NFF for putting up such a high profile friendly match to help boost the confidence of the players against top European side.
Goals from debutant Joe Aribo and another from the penalty spot from inform striker Victor Osimhen put Nigeria 2-0 up but the hosts equalised in sixty seconds with Manchester City’s Oleksandr Zinchenko and Roman Yaremchuk getting the goals.
The Eagles next fixture will be against neighbours Benin Republic in November when the qualifiers of the 2021 Nations Cup kicks off.
