AFCON 2021: Samuel Eto’o reacts as Super Eagles qualify for knockout stages

Samuel Eto’o Fils, President of the Cameroonian Football Federation, has commended the Super Eagles for qualifying for the next round of the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON.

The Super Eagles had qualified for the knockout stages of the ongoing AFCON tournament in Cameroon after topping Group D.

The Nigerian representative had defeated Egypt through a lone goal and Sudan 3-1 to top the group.

Against the Sudanese, goals from Samuel Chukwueze, Taiwo Awoniyi and Moses Simon gave the three-time champions a three-goal lead.

Although Sudan pulled one back, it was merely a consolation goal.

Reaction to Super Eagles’ qualification, Eto’o, in a tweet on his verified Twitter handle, wrote: “Well done Super Eagles Flag of Nigeria for securing your second victory and moving on to the knockout stage #AFCON2021 @CAF_Online”
