Our victory today was secured by just a lone goal from the mighty Ademola Lookman in the 41st minute, and this was an evidence to the fight spirit and tactical prowess of our players.

It was not an easy match because the Angolans came so prepared. Right from the opening whistle, the tension was so high. The Angolans came out very strong, and they were determined to win the game so they can proof a point to the world. But the Eagles motivated by the , held their ground. The midfield battle was so fierce with the Nigerian midfielders gaining the upper hand most of the time as they continued to weave their magic on the flanks and were able to create opportunities for the strikers.

It was as if the first half would end in a draw but then, something magical happened in the 41st minute. It was a moment of brilliance from Moses Simon who I always call, the "Nigerian Messi" as he danced past the Angolan defender like a gazelle, leaving him in his dust. He then pinpointed Ademola Lookman who was running into the 18yard box.

Lookman didn't think twice before shooting the ball pass the Angolan goal keeper. It was a very clever strike since the keeper never expected the ball would go to that direction. Immediately the ball entered into the net, the whole stadium was filled with Nigerians rejoicing just the same way the green and white flags were seen been waved proudly in different directions in the stadium.

The Angolans came out for the second half very strong. As expected, they were pushing so hard for an equalizer, but the Eagles' defense who had conceived just a goal in the tournament, stood firm. Time after time, they were able to stop the Angolan attacks. You need to see their determination, it was world class. I won't fail to give credit to the Super Eagles Goal keeper who performed excellently well during the game. Finally the final whistle blew, and that's how celebrations began.

This victory is an evidence to the hard work and dedication of the Super Eagles. They faced a tough opponent, but they never gave up. They played with passion and skill. I bet most of you will agree with me the that Coach Peseiro deserves a round of applause for a job well done. He did so well to keep the team organized and focused.
