Russia 2018: Chukwu hails Eagles draw

By Daily Sports on September 5, 2017

Former Super Eagles handler, Christian Chukwu has described as a good result the Super Eagles’ draw against the African champions, the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon, in Yaoundé.

The Eagles were held to a 1-1 draw by the Cameroonians in Monday’s 2018 Fifa World Cup qualifier at the Stade Omnisports Ahmadou Ahidjo.

The Nigerians opened their score in the 30th minute through forward Simon Moses while the Cameroonians levelled scores from the penalty spot by their talisman, Vincent Aboubacar.

Chukwu said he expected a huge fight back from the African champions in their backyard after the 0-4 humbling at the hands of the Nigerians in Uyo on Friday.

“The 1-1 draw against Cameroon in Yaoundé is not a bad result. I must say a big congratulations to the Super Eagles.“

The Eagles did everything well in the encounter. At least the Cameroonians’ equalising goal came from the penalty spot.

“Of course, nobody would have expected another massacre from Cameroon after the massive four unreplied loss to the Eagles on Friday in Uyo.“

I expected a fight back from them and that was what happened. At least they proved themselves as African champions.

“It’s wholly a good result as we just have to beat Zambia in Nigeria to cement our ticket to the 2018 Fifa World Cup in Russia,” Chukwu said.© supersport.com
