Eagles Top Performer Vs Croatia : We Are Working On What We Have To Do To Qualify
Published: June 19, 2018Super Eagles top performer in their 2-0 loss to Croatia, Oghenekaro Etebo, is confident that they can still qualify for the second round of the 2018 World Cup.
Two qualification tickets to the next round are still up for grabs and Nigeria can be one of the two teams if they beat Iceland and Argentina in their last two fixtures in Group D.
The Super Eagles have won only two of their last five match day two fixtures at the World Cup, beating Bulgaria and Bosnia 1-0 in 1998 and 2014 respectively.
''We lost but it is still bright out there, '' Etebo was quoted as saying by the Nigeria Football Federation's Twitter account.
''It's up to us to keep our heads up and stay very focused for the next game and work on what we have to do to qualify.''
The new Stoke City signing led the way in dribbles, fouls won, touches and had the best passing accuracy at the Kaliningrad Stadium this past weekend.
