Gbenga Elegbeleye, former Director-General of the National Sports Commission, has urged Super Eagles attackers to score more goals as the 2019 African Cup of Nations progresses. Elegbeleye, a former chairman of Ondo State Table Tennis Association, said while the group stage could be about points, goal scoring was essential at the knock-out stage. The former member of the Ministerial Committee on Reform of Football Administration in Nigeria, however, congratulated the Super Eagles for getting the job done. “We have secured a place in the second round with a game to spare, so the Super Eagles got the job done. A 73rd minute strike by defender Kenneth Omeruo off Simon Moses’ corner kick secured another narrow win for the Super Eagles.
