Nigeria Football Federation NFF president Alhaji Ibrahim Musa Gusau has reacted to the Super Eagles recent matches, which were played in England and Russia.
The Super Eagles defeated the Black Stars 2-1 in an entertaining Unity Cup semi-final at Brentfords Gtech Community Stadium on May 28, and then outlasted Jamaicas Reggae Boyz 5-4 on penalties after a 2-2 draw in the final three days later.
Tolu Arokodare, on the other hand, scored in the second half to stalemate the clash with Russias Sbornaya at the iconic Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow on Friday, following Semi Ajayis inadvertent own goal in the first period.
Gusau is delighted to have achieved its objectives for making the Super Eagles prosecute the Four-Nation Unity Cup Tournament in London and the friendly match with the Russia.
I can tell you categorically that we achieved our sporting objectives, which were the most important in this case. The principal goal was to provide windows for the Coach and his crew to take a look at new players that might be positive additions to the team going forward, Gusau said.
