Nigerian football fans have expressed their minds following the 2026 World Qualifiers match day one match between Nigeria and Lesotho.
Jose Peseiro’s men played out a 1-1 draw with the Crocodiles at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo on Thursday. Semi Ajayi headed home a corner from Kelechi Iheanacho to cancel out Motlomelo Mkwanazi’s opener in the second half.
The performance did not go down well with the fans and they have voiced their minds on the popular microblogging platform X (formerly Twitter).
Here are some of the reactions from the users of the platform.
Useless coach, with some bunch of average players that doesn't to be anywhere near super eagles set up. I hope they don't qualify coz they will go and disgrace us. pic.twitter.com/pqWs8OkZLl

I thought they said "Abuja pitch was the reason for poor performance."
— CONVERT
Abuja pitch that other National teams will play and win. Only Super Eagles will say, "na pitch make person cross nonsense."
So what is the excuse with the results in Uyo..

All my life I have never seen a Nigerian team this poor.
Goal keeper : disaster
Defence: try and error
Midfield: the worst I have seen all my life
Front line: is where we have hope(@Brezzybone1) November 16, 2023
