The Super Eagles of Nigeria on Friday, March 22 beat Seychelles 3-1 to finish top of Group E of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
With the Super Eagles already through, they needed just a win to ensure they finish top of Group E above South and Libya.
And they got wanted they wanted through goals from Odion Ighalo, Henry Onyekuru and Moses Simon. It was Ighalo who gave the Super Eagles the lead in the first half from the penalty spot but a howler from Nigeria’s goalkeeper Francis Uzoho allowed Seychelles to level.
The Super Eagles regained the tie in the second half through a header from Onyekuru before Simon sealed the win with a late goal.
Gernot Rohr started two of Nigeria’s most inform defenders William Troost-Ekong and Kenneth Omeruo while Francis Uzoho returned between the post.
Wilfred Ndidi was also back and Oghenekaro Etebo was made to start in the game played in his home state.
Alex Iwobi got the No 10 role while Onyekuru, Ahmed Musa and Ighalo started in attack. The Super Eagles quickly took control of the game but failed to open up the Seychelles defence. Iwobi was trying to make things happen and in the second minute, the Arsenal man played a short pass to Shehu Abdullahi on the right but the defender reacted slowly and his cross was deflected for a corner.
Seychelles played a quick one in the eighth minute and caught the Super Eagles napping but Uzoho had to stretch the fullest to get his hand on a dangerous cross into the box.
Despite dominating the game, the Super Eagles were failing to create clear-cut chances and Etebo had to fire over the bar twice, first from a freekick and then from open play.
Ndidi tried to take matters into his hands but his tame shot was easily collected by the goalkeeper after dribbling inside the Seychelles box.
It was in the 35th minute that the Super Eagles took the lead from the penalty spot. The referee adjudged that Ighalo had been fouled in the box and the Shanghai Shenhua striker picked himself up to score.
But seven minutes later Seychelles were level after a horror mistake from Uzoho who spilt a free kick into the path of Rody Melanie who poked home to make the 1-1 at halftime.
The Super Eagles started the second half on the front foot but just like the first half, they failed to get behind the Seychelles defence despite dominating possession.
It took the Super Eagles 15 minutes after the break to get back into the lead through Onyekuru who got his head to a cross from Jamilu Collins.

Restoration Marketing Pros 104 Main St Bloomsburg, PA 17815 (904) 657-4138 Your go to pros for exclusive restoration leads Arnold Baker Founder Of Restoration Marketing Pros – Generating exclusive, hyper targeted water damage leads (live calls) for over a decade! How to Generate High-Quality Water Damage Leads Tired of gambling your ad budget on low-quality water damage leads? For water damage restoration companies, a steady stream of high-quality leads is the lifeblood of the business. No matter how skilled your crew is, you cannot grow without a consistent pipeline of people who urgently need water mitigation help. Because of this, more and more restoration companies are searching for dependable sources of qualified, ready-to-book water damage prospects. The problem is that many common lead sources simply are not built for your profitability. Shared-lead platforms blast the same desperate homeowner’s information to multiple contractors in your local area. The moment that happens, the conversation shifts away from quality and toward who is willing to shave the most off their invoice. The smarter strategy is to shift from shared leads to exclusive leads that are delivered only to you. With exclusivity, your company is the sole restoration provider speaking to that property owner about their water damage emergency. That gives you room to talk about your response time, certifications, and reputation instead of just lowering your price. Among all types of leads, live transfer calls are the highest-intent for restoration work. Live transfers mean the lead has already been screened and is immediately connected to your office or on-call phone. Rather than hunting for work, you are simply picking up the phone when the right kind of customer is sent your way. Water damage mitigation is a time-sensitive business where fast response is one of your biggest competitive advantages. A homeowner with a burst pipe is not spending the weekend comparing quotes; they are frantically searching for someone to solve the problem right now. This is one reason exclusive phone leads are so valuable—they align perfectly with the urgency of the situation. Building a predictable pipeline of exclusive water damage calls requires either serious in-house marketing or a specialized partner. Generic lead companies often treat water damage like any other home service, which leads to poor results. You want a provider that knows restoration, understands emergency intent, and can deliver exclusive, high-intent leads you can actually close. While buying exclusive leads is powerful, you still want to invest in your own brand and visibility for long-term stability. Organic search visibility is how homeowners find you without you having to pay for every individual click or call. Paid search campaigns allow you to ramp up lead volume fast when you need more jobs. Strong Google reviews and testimonials are often the deciding factor when a homeowner chooses which restoration company to contact. All of these elements working together give you a long-term, scalable system for bringing in new restoration jobs. You are no longer guessing where your next job will come from; you can measure and adjust your lead flow with confidence. That is the path from being “just another contractor” to becoming the go-to restoration company in your market.
