Former South Africa striker, Benni McCarthy has hailed the Super Eagles for teaching Benin Republic a lesson during the 2026 World Cup qualifying series.
McCarthy said he was pleased Nigeria turned up and beat Benin Republic 4-0 in the last group game of the qualifying series.
The defeat meant that Benin, who sat top of Group C going into the last round of fixtures, failed to qualify, with Nigeria going into the playoffs, while South Africa was handed automatic qualification.
