Nigerian ex-international footballer, Kanu Nwankwo, has urged the Super Eagles of Nigeria to learn from their mistake and move on following their elimination from the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON)
Nigeria crashed out of the 2021 AFCON after losing 1-0 against Tunisia on Sunday night in Cameroon.
A second-half goal from Youssef Msakni ensured Tunisia defeated the Super Eagles in the AFCON round of 16 and qualified for the quarter-finals.
Reacting, Kanu, who had wished the Super Eagles good luck before the match against Tunisia, said he was proud of the Nigeria national team.
The former Ajax star also urged the Super Eagles to qualify Nigeria for the FIFA 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Kanu wrote on Twitter on Monday morning, “My country people. Yeah. Super Eagles are out of #afcon21 All the same we learn from our mistakes and move on. Let’s go qualify for the World Cup.”
