AFCON Qualifiers: Nigeria’s Super Eagles throw away four-goal lead against Sierra Leone

 

The Super Eagles of Nigeria blew a four-goal lead to settle for a disappointing 4-4 draw in their Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match on Friday at the new Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin City, Edo State.

Four goals in the opening half-hour of Friday’s tie initially gave many the belief that the Eagles may be securing a record win against their West African neighbours.

However, that was not the case as the Leone Stars fought their way to deservedly secure a 4-4 draw against the three-time African champions.
