Football loving Nigerians are celebrating the victory of the Super Eagles at the 2019 African Cup of Nations qualifiers.

The Eagles trashed Seychelles 3 – 0 at the Stade Linite on Saturday.

Ahmed Musa scored the first goal in the 15th minute, which was accompanied by a brilliant rebound from Chidozie Awaziem, in the 34th minute.

Odion Ighalo topped up the goals with another, which he scored from the penalty spot.

Excited football enthusiasts shared photos of Ahmed Musa and his teammates on their social media handles and showered praises on the boys.

Some also did a thorough analysis of the match and highlighted their areas of weakness.

However, many hailed 25-year-old  Musa for saving the day.

Recall that Nigeria went into the game with no point in Group E, having lost their first fixture 2-0 to South Africa in Uyo last year.

As it stands, Nigeria are second in Group E with three points and the final standings for Round Two games would be decided after the conclusion of the other group game between South Africa and table-topper Libya.

What more can we expect from you?
You said worst to Ahmed Musa.
You called him Aboki,Nama etc Today he is your national treasure. You can not continue to disrespect someone that has worked hard to be in national team.
Ighalo may not be playing well, but he is not useless https://t.co/UGzyo5jpry
