Super Eagles head coach Gernot Rohr has described his team’s 3-2 win over Libya as ‘a huge test of character’.
Rohr who was speaking immediately after the match in Sfax said:
“I congratulate my team for this victory. It was a huge test of our character. We lost a 2 goal lead but fought hard instead of dropping our heads. We will stay humble because we have not qualified for AFCON yet. We keep fighting.”
Nigeria raced into a two goal lead through Odion Ighalo and Musa Ahmed before the Libyans equalized. Striker Ighalo scored the winning to leave the Super Eagles a win from qualifying.
