Echiejile Says Senegal Were A Good Test For Super Eagles

Sporting Gijon defender Elderson Echiejile was pleased with the comeback draw against Senegal in an international friendly at the Hive Stadium on Thursday night.

The ex-Nigeria U20 international put in a full shift against the West African opponents and picked up a caution in the 64th minute.

In his tweet, Echiejile acknowledged that the result would have been worse if City striker Kelechi Iheanacho had not converted his spot-kick in the 83rd minute.

“Was a good game test for the team yesterday! Fair result. #EUE3 @thenff, ” said Elderson Echiejile.

Echiejile participated in only one workout with the Super Eagles before the friendly against Senegal as he arrived in London late due to a visa hitch.
