Osimhen’s Own Goal Sinks Flying Eagles, Fans Want NFF Board To Go
As it happened in 1978 in Lagos during a crucial World Cup qualifier against Tunisia, when the Green Eagles defender, Godwin Odiye, scored an own goal to deny Nigeria qualification for the Mundial hosted by Argentina, Flying Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, accounted for the nation’s ouster from the 2017 African U-20 Nations Cup yesterday.
After the Super Eagles failed to qualify for the Gabon 2017 African Nations Cup, yesterday’s home defeat of the Flying Eagles to a 10-man Young Falcons of Sudan was another major dent on Nigeria’s football.
