Don't judge Super Eagles on Senegal defeat, insists Victor Ikpeba and Mutiu Adepoju

Nigeria football greats Mutiu Adepoju and Victor Ikpeba think the Super Eagles can still have a good Africa Cup of Nations despite their 1-0 defeat to Senegal on Sunday.

Idrissa Gueye sealed the win for the Lions of Teranga in the 20th minute after profiting from a defensive mix up in the Super Eagles’ penalty area.

The defeat has drawn reaction from football fans across Nigeria, as they claim Gernot Rohr’s men are off-guard for the biennial African football showpiece, a few days after playing a out 0-0 draw with Zimbabwe in Asaba.
