Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) first vice-president Seyi Akinwunmi had high hopes going into the Super Eagles’ clash with Togo, but is "extremely disappointed" after they failed to qualify for 2020 African Nations Championship.
Sikiru Alimi’s brace sealed a 2-0 second-leg victory at the Agege Stadium, but it counted for nothing as the country’s flag won’t be hoisted in Cameroon after a 4-3 aggregate defeat.
Akinwunmi was impressed by the team's showing on Saturday but was irked by the first leg defeat to the Sparrow Hawks at the Stade de Kegue, Lome.
