‘They did well’ – Chelle hails two Super Eagles players after Madagascar win

Super Eagles coach, Eric Chelle, has hailed two of his players after Nigeria defeated Madagascar 2-1 in a 2027 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, qualifier on Friday.

Two goals from George Ilenikhena and Moses Usor ensured the Super Eagles came from a goal down to beat Madagascar in Uyo.

Speaking to reporters after the match, Chelle heaped praise on Usor and Moses Simon for playing against Madagascar.

“They bring this energy, they bring this one-on-one,” Chelle said.

“You need sometimes something crazy on the field, some people who can bring one-on-one, one against two, one against three. They did well.”

Nigeria’s next match in the AFCON qualifier is against Guinea-Bissau on Tuesday.
