Former Nigerian international, Mutiu Adepoju has urged the Super Eagles to approach their Thursday’s 2023 Africa Cup of Nations against hosts, Ivory Coast with all sense of seriousness if the team must qualify to the knockout stages.

Recall that Nigeria played out a 1-1 draw against Equatorial Guinea in the opening game on Sunday while Ivory Coast defeated Guinea-Bissau 2-0 to sit top of Group A.

However, in a chat with Completesports.com, the 1994 AFCON winner stated that the Super Eagles must do everything to get the maximum points against Ivory Coast.

“I think it’s just unfortunate that we didn’t win the first game against Equatorial Guinea. And it won’t be easy to face the hosts, who have already gotten the three points and they will want to consolidate on their qualification by winning the second game and not waiting for the third game.
