Nigeria will pursue a subsequent success in Group An of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers when they face 'has' Sao Tome and Principe at Stade Adrar in Agadir, Morocco, on the evening of Monday 13 June.
Nigeria opened their mission with a fairly brazen 2-1 win over Sierra Leone last Thursday night in Abuja, coming from an objective down to guarantee triumph by means of strikes from Alex Iwobi and Victor Osimhen.
It was not the most persuading execution from the Super Eagles, however they took care of business and placed three focuses on the board - a significant marker in a year where they staggered out of the Afcon finals at the last 16 phase and neglected to fit the bill for the World Cup.
Mentor Jose Peseiro contended that Nigeria "made a ton of scoring possibilities, we might have won with a greater edge, however the group needs additional time and we should work".
The Portuguese likewise protected his choice to pick Iwobi and Joe Aribo in focal midfield - a choice he revised in the game by welcoming on Peter Etebo toward the beginning of the last part.
"I can play any player, I go with the last choice. Assuming I ask you, to give me your XI, it will be unique in relation to other people," Peseiro made sense of. "I have faith in my players, it's my obligation to choose the players as per our arrangements."
Sao Tome and Principe, in the mean time, set their Group A mission in motion with a 1-5 misfortune because of Guinea-Bissau at a similar Stade Adrar last Thursday. The minnows asserted an early lead through Eba Viegas, however were at last out-gunned by the Djurtus north of an hour and a half.
Seleção dos Falcões e Papagaios (The Falcons and True Parrots Team) have never equipped for the Afcon finals. Their endeavor to arrive at the 2021 finals saw them finish lower part of a gathering which included Ghana, Sudan and South Africa.
In no holds barred terms, this will be the primary gathering of Sao Tome and Principe and Nigeria.
