‘The comeback kings’ – Fans react to Super Eagles victory against Lesotho

Football fans have reacted to the performance of Nigeria in their 4-2 win against Lesotho in Sunday’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifying game.

The three-time African champions, who came from behind to defeat the Republic of Benin in their opening game in Group L on Wednesday, displayed a similar showing at Setsoto Stadium.

Masoabi Nkoto put the Crocodiles in front in the 11th minute before Alex Iwobi levelled for Gernot Rohr’s men moments before the half-hour mark.

Samuel Chukwueze then gave the Super Eagles the lead in the 38th minute before Victor Osimhen’s brace completed the impressive comeback despite a late own goal from Chidozie Awaziem.
