AFCON 2019: Super Eagles trash Seychelles to pick first points

The Super Eagles picked up their first points in the qualifying campaign for the 2019 African Cup of Nations after defeating Seychelles 3 – 0 at the Stade Linite on Saturday.

Goals from Ahmed Musa, Chidozie Awaziem and Odion Ighalo ensured that the Super Eagles pick the three maximum points.

The win is their first of the qualifiers, with debutant Samuel Kalu causing havoc to the Pirates defence.

Musa and Awaziem handed the visitors a two-goal advantage in the first-half and Ighalo added the third from the spot after one of Kalu’s numerous teasing runs was halted in the box.
