Nigeria '70 per cent ready' for Afcon after Egypt win – Gernot Rohr

Following Nigeria’s 1-0 win over Egypt in Tuesday’s friendly encounter, Gernot Rohr reflects that his team is '70 per cent' ready for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations finals.

Paul Onuachu’s first minute strike separated both teams in Asaba as the Super Eagles recorded their second straight win after a 3-1 win over Seychelles in their final qualifying match on Friday.

The three-time champions are set to return to the continental stage after missing the last two editions and the victory over the Pharaohs, host of the competition, sums up a great match for the west Africans.
