Nigeria attacker Alex Iwobi scored twice in the 4-4 draw against Sierra Leone but the Super Eagles were unable to see the game through, surrendering a 4-0 lead. The draw was followed up with a goalless draw in Freetown.
The draw sparked outrage from Nigerians who felt the Eagles should have sealed the win. Iwobi has now reflected on what went wrong in the game and the lessons learnt going forward.
The Eagles face the final two games of the qualifying group stages against Benin Republic and Lesotho and Iwobi said they have learnt and will use the draws against Sierra Leone as motivation and hope to win the games.
