Reactions have been pouring in following the Super Eagles 1-1 draw against Lesotho on Thursday with fans left disappointed with the result.

The game which was played at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium, Uyo saw the visitors draw first blood through Motlomelo Mkhawanazi in the 56th minute off a corner.

Semi Ajayi in the 67th minute came to Nigeria’s rescue with a fine header after being left unmarked in the box.

The Super Eagles were, however, not able to get a winner with several attempts unyielding.

The result leaves Nigeria with one point in Group C alongside Lesotho, Rwanda and Zimbabwe.

Reacting to the result, fans of the Super Eagles expressed disappointment at the team while calling out the tactical proficiency of the coach.

@sala_mighty tweeted: “@thenff stop wasting our money on foreign coaches. This guys are not working for us. No one come close to Western off. The Super Eagles can do better. #FIFAWCQ2026.”

@OmoOwa_Prince: “If this is how the super eagles will be playing going forward, it is better we don’t even qualify for 2026 world cup. No team spirit, no organization and our coach is a complete error.”

@debocares: ‘Most Nigerians/Press are not helping matters…….I will still repeat that Eguavoen is far better than this Pasuma we call Super Eagles coach. Not style, no rhythm…..Nothing!!!”

@Collynzo1: ”Super Eagles Line up today had 4 strikers starting. Four center forwards.
We can’t go anywhere like that.”
We keep celebrating each time a new hot striker is discovered but that’s not what we need

@UdemezuePrince: “If Nigeria Super Eagles cannot win Lesotho conveniently, I don’t think we have business going to world Cup.”

Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney, has picked the Red Devils defender Luke Shaw as the most improved player in the Premier League following the conclusion of the 2025/26 season.

Speaking on his BBC podcast, Rooney said, “I think, for me, Luke Shaw. I think Luke Shaw has been the most improved player this season.

“I know he is an experienced player now, but I think his level this season has been much better than it has been in recent seasons.

“People might look at Kobbie Mainoo but I don’t think he’s improved. It was just the fact he wasn’t playing under the former manager so it wasn’t good or bad.”

Shaw enjoyed one of his most consistent seasons at Man United and started all of Man United’s Premier League games.
