Durosinmi backs Peseiro’s men for title

By Daily Sports Nigeria on January 20, 2024

Nigerian striker, Adefolarin Durosinmi, has backed the Super Eagles to go all the way and win the ongoing African Cup of Nations tournament in Ivory Coast after they edged the Elephants by a lone goal in Thursday’s Group A clash in Abidjan.

The Eagles bounced back from a disappointing AFCON opener against Equatorial Guinea which ended 1-1 to beat hosts, Ivory Coast, 1-0. A result that put them in a strong position to qualify for the knockout stages.

The Ivorian fans were silenced when William Troost-Ekong converted a 54th-minute penalty after Victor Osimhen was fouled in the penalty box.

Despite relentless roars of support, the Elephants could not find an equaliser as the Eagles held on for a famous victory and revived their AFCON title hopes.

Speaking with PUNCH Sports Extra, the Nakhon Pathom United star in Thailand said,” It was a great win for the Eagles and that victory has sparked a lot of confidence among every Nigerian.

“It was a spirited and professional performance from the team. They knew it wasn’t going to be easy and they were ready to fight.

“To be honest I want them to win the AFCON and I believe we can win a fourth AFCON title in Ivory Coast if they stick together like they did.

Durosinmi, who has scored six goals in 15 games this season across all competition in Thailand’s topflight league, also believes striker Victor Osimhen will inspire the Eagles to a fourth AFCON title.

The Napoli star scored in the Eagles’ opening fixture draw with Equatorial Guinea, before winning the penalty that decided their matchday two clash against the hosts.

“Osimhen with the help of the team can lead the Eagles all the way to the title,” Durosinmi continued.

“He has had a hand in the goals we have scored so far; he is one of the key players in the team.”
