2021 AFCON: Coach Eguavoen Committed On Beating Sudan On Saturday

Coach Augustine Eguavoen has reiterated his yearning to get all maximum points on Saturday when Super Eagles line up against Sudan in the second game of Group-D in the ongoing 2021 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON in Cameroon.

The former Eagles captain waved aside his record as the only Nigerian Coach to have led the national team to win all three group phase matches at the AFCON, when his wards steamrolled Ghana, Zimbabwe and Senegal in Egypt 16 years ago.

Three points on Saturday will guarantee group leaders Nigeria a place in the Round of 16 of the 33rd AFCON, meaning a more relaxed approach to their final group phase clash with debutants Guinea Bissau also in Garoua on Wednesday next week. If they finish top of Group-D, the three-time champions will remain in Garoua for their Round of 16 task.

Eguavoen featured for the Nigeria senior team for 11 years, between 1987 and 1998, during which he lifted the Africa Cup of Nations in 1994.
