Eagles Express Disappointment After AFCON Defeat

The Nigeria Super Eagles have expressed disappointment over their defeat at the 2023 CAF African Cup of Nations final.

The Elephants of Côte d’Ivoire, on Sunday, won the 2023 CAF African Cup of Nations final.

The Ivorians saw off the Super Eagles of Nigeria in a tense 2-1 defeat.

Two strikes from Franck Kessie and Sebastien Haller were enough to cancel Troost-Ekong’s opener.

Prior to the game, the Super Eagles players and officials were confident that Nigeria would be crowned kings of Africa.

Reacting to their loss in an X tweet on Monday, the Eagles said even though they feel disappointed, they will cherish the silver medal they won.

“Disappointed, yet we make do with the Silver Medal,” the Eagles wrote.
