Nigeria’s Super Eagles Qualifies For 2018 World Cup Competition. by uneeking(m): 7:28am On Oct 08, 2017
It was surely a day of wild jubilation yesterday in Nigeria as the Super Eagles secured the much sought after ticket to next year’s World Cup Competition taking place in Russia.

The solitary goal scored by substitute Alex Iwobi in the 74th minute of the game proved to be the decisive goal after the hosts had squandered lots of begging chances in the course of the game.

Kudos must be given to the visitors for their spirited opposition despite playing away against a team that had the whole stadium routing for it. They even succeeded in scoring a goal that was adjudged an offside one before the hosts scored theirs.

The game was a highly explosive one until the 74th minute when Arsenal striker Alex Iwobi managed to calm the nerves of the host fans with a goal that is worth millions of dollars right now. Iwobi had been brought in to replace Moses Simon in what proved to be a decisive decision by the Super Eagles coach Gereard Rohr.

This goal of course sent the home crowd into an ecstatic round of jubilation that could be felt across the length and breadth of Nigeria.

Three minutes of added time however meant that the crowd had to sweat through it before finally getting the right to go into real wild jubilation that must have lasted all through the night into the early hours of this morning.

As it stands right now on the table, Nigeria has acquired an unassailable 13 points from five games played in Group B leaving Zambia who are the nearest opponents in the group with 7 points with just one more game to play in the qualifiers.

In the other game played in the group, Cameroun defeated Algeria by two goals to one with goals coming from Clinton Njie in the 25th minute and Franck Pangop Tchidjui in the 88th minutes respectively.

We at Uneekomunikations heartily felicitate with the Super Eagles for qualifying for the 2018 World Cup Competition to be hosted by Russia and wish them a very successful outing out there next year.
