NFF summon Super Eagles technical crew after disappointing Sierra Leone draw

The President of the Nigeria Federation Football (NFF), Amaju Pinnick, called a meeting with the Super Eagles technical crew on Saturday morning after the disappointing 4-4 draw with Sierra Leone.

The three-time African champions surrendered a four-goal lead against their West African neighbours in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifying fixture at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium on Friday.

Alex Iwobi’s brace and goals from Samuel Chukwueze and Victor Osimhen gave Nigeria a comfortable lead in the opening 45 minutes but the Leone Stars came from behind after the restart to secure a point in Benin.
