Igho Ogbu Confident Super Eagles Can Finally Beat Rwanda in Kigali
Super Eagles defender Igho Ogbu is confident that the team can break their winless streak against Rwanda in Kigali.
The Super Eagles have struggled to secure a victory over the Amavubi in their last three meetings in Kigali. Éric Chelle’s squad faces the pressure of needing a win to strengthen their chances of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Ogbu, who plays for Slavia Prague, remains positive about the team’s chances. He believes that with the right preparation, they can deliver a strong performance.
“I believe we can do it. We just need to work hard in training, and everything will fall into place on matchday,” Ogbu said in an interview with Ojb Sports.
The match is scheduled for Friday at the Amahoro Stadium in Kigali, with kickoff set for 5 pm Nigerian time.
Ghanaian Referee, Daniel Laryea, who officiated the Nigeria vs Morocco game in AFCON gets interviews and shared his experience.
The referee reveals how it was his first time in a semi final and was kind of nervous. “I’ve been to three AFCON tournaments, but this is the first time I’ve been in a semi-final.”
“So when coaches choose you for that game, they know your skills and what you can do. But of course, you feel a little nervous because of the level of the match.”
Nigerian Footballer, Bright Osayi-Samuel , react to match as Super Eagles lose to Morocco.
The player calls out CAF for their referee appointment. He shares how the Ghanaian Referee was tough on the field and made bad choices.
“One thing I would say is that the referee was really bad. I’m not saying that was the reason we lost. He is making really bad choices and it’s really tough to watch because we have referees like this in big games like today.
He then praises Morocco for a good game “But Morocco did really well.”
Super Eagles Coach, Eric Chelle speaks and shared why Nigeria lost the AFCON match to Morocco.
It can be noted that the match was held on the 14th of January, 2026. Nigeria lost the match with a draft in the penalties, 4-2.
During a recent interview, Chelle shared his observations about the match and shared why they lost.
“From a technical point of view, the Super Eagles weren’t at the same level as we displayed in our other matches.”
“I don’t want to say the reason was fatigue, but the truth is that we lacked movement and power.”
