Nigeria international Kenneth Omeruo feels his partnership with William Troost-Ekong was always going to be the best.
Coach Gernot Rohr preferred to start Omeruo in the heart of Super Eagles defence with Troost-Ekong, ahead of Leon Balogun, in their Africa Cup of Nations opener against Burundi.
The decision yielded a positive result, with both holding sway to neutralise the threats of the Swallows attacks, led by Saido Berahino.
Aside from keeping a clean sheet, both performed well in a backline which looked formidable in the encounter played in Alexandria.
The Leganes man is delighted with the way his combo with the Italy-based defender worked out on the night.
