The Red-White Gladiators tweeted: “Congratulations @OkoyeMaduka and #TeamNigeria with the 1-0 victory in the @CAF_Online. Our home is in your colours! #NGAEGY.”
Kudos to the ‘Senior Man’ Kelechi Iheanacho who grabbed the single goal in the first half of the match.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian first-choice goalkeeper, Maduka Okoye who moved to Vicarage Stadium last November is currently on loan at the Castle Lords until the end of this season.
Hopefully, Nigeria will continue with their fine form when they compete with Sudan in the next fixture of the African tournament on Saturday.
