The media In Benin Republic has tagged the Super Eagles as wicked and uncompromising for winning yesterday’s 2022 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers game 1-0.

Their plan was one kick away from happening before Paul Onuachu strike with what was virtually the last kick of the game to hand Nigeria a 1-0 in the third and final minute of time added on.

The goal also ended their unbeaten run at home which started since 2013 and has remained a source of pride to them in recent years. They were livid to lose it to a Nigerian team that has nothing at stake in the game.

“ Wicked Super Eagles End Squirrels Unbeaten Run”, one newspaper headline reads. Another had it’s front page headline this way “ Uncompromising Eagles End Squirrels Record For Fun”.

Highly respected Benin Republic media outlet La Nouvelle Tribune were also not left out tagging the Super Eagles as cruel for winning a game, which a draw would have seen both teams through.

“But how cruel these Nigerians are! They maintained the suspense in a match where they did not force their talent. Because, opposite, Michel Dussuyer, the Beninese coach has aligned a defensive team as if the objective were a draw. A result which would have suited both teams”, a section of an editorial reads.
