AFCON Qualifier: Nigeria surrender 4-goal lead to visiting Sierra Leone
The Super Eagles of Nigeria conceded four goals against Sierra Leone during Friday’s Africa Cup of Nations at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin City, Edo State.
Nigeria, who had gone four goals up after 29 minutes, gradually squandered the huge advantage as the game wore on.
Coach Gernot Rohr was left in shock as his team went to sleep and allowed the visitors mount an puzzling comeback.
As if Nigeria’s woes were not enough, Napoli star Victor Osimhen came off after injuring a wrist.
The game ended 4-4.
