Nigeria vs Sierra Leone: Alex Iwobi social post wholly fails to judge Super Eagles mood  Goal.com

The Everton midfielder’s claims of Twitter disappointment struck an uncomfortable note

Super Eagles fans were in uproar on social media on Friday evening, as Nigeria conspired to allow a four-goal advantage to slip through their fingers as they were forced to settle for a 4-4 draw with Sierra Leone in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.

It was one of the poorest halves of football seen by the West African giants in many years, as the hosts wilted in light of the increasing pressure mounted by their opponents, whose confidence grew as they gradually began to claw back the deficit.

Understandably, Nigerian fans on social media were in uproar after the match, with many questioning the team’s attitude and commitment to the cause.
