Alex Iwobi has put behind the disappointing 1-1 draw against South Africa and his focused on Monday’s game with Benin Republic in Côte d’Ivoire.
For the third consecutive game the Eagles recorded a 1-1 draw in Group C of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
In Friday’s game against Bafana Bafana, the team had Fisayo Dele-Bashiru to thank as his early second half goal cancelled out Thembo Zwane’s first half opener.
Iwobi had a hand in the equaliser as his through pass found the Hatayspor star, who turned his marker before firing past a stranded Ronwen Williams.
