Captain William Ekong has praised the Super Eagles after they beat Benin 3-0 to open their 2025 AFCON qualifying campaign on superb note.
“We prepared to win the game, we respect Benin, the last time we played against them they won, so like I said we have great belief in our team, in our coach, who is like a family member that has returned to us now, and we knew we had to take responsibility,” he said
“Everybody knows we have good attacking talent, we don’t have to name them, but we played well, tried to keep the door shut at the back, we created chances to score, so I believe that if we gave the boys enough balls up front they would put it away.
“Today is a good indication of the direction that we’re heading and the first step of many that we have to take to be back at the AFCON.”
