Super Eagles captain William Troost-Ekong has reflected on the team’s performance against the Amavubi of Rwanda, Prompt News reports.
Eric Chelle’s side revived their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying hopes with a comfortable 2-0 victory over the Amavubi in Kigali on Friday night.
Victor Osimhen scored both goals for the three-time African champions.
“The game against Rwanda wasn’t easy, we’ve played them several times now and it’s a team we respect,” Troost-Ekong said after the game.
“We tried to understand what the coach wanted us to do early on, we only had two or three full training sessions, a lot of video sessions and today everyone saw glimpses of what we should be expecting under coach Eric Chelle.”
The centre-back also praised also eulogised Osimhen and Lookman for their performance in the game.
“Victor Osimhen is a fantastic player I think he’s among the world best together with Ademola Lookman, Africa’s best player but I don’t want to single out anyone,” he added.
“Today’s performance was a collective performance, we had a debutant Tolu (Arokodare), we had players who came on and played out of position like Alhassan Yusuf so there was a team spirit which we had already before.”
