After a tough run of three matches without a win, the Super Eagles finally bounced back with a strong performance, beating Benin 3-0 in their Group D opener for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Ademola Lookman scored twice, and Victor Osimhen added another goal, securing the victory in Uyo.
Here’s how fans reacted to the Super Eagles' impressive win:
"Let’s bring Samson Siasia back and skip hiring a foreign coach. We can send our coaches abroad for refresher courses and attach them to foreign clubs instead." — Dajomes Harcourt
"Let’s offer Eguavoen a 10-year contract! He’s doing a great job." — Bayo Yusuf
"Give Eguavoen the permanent role of Super Eagles coach. We don’t need a foreign coach." — Davies
"Semi Ajayi might not stand out, but he’s quietly effective. The Gentle Giant just gets the job done." — Bolarinwa Olajide
"Clear the road for the Super Eagles! They’re on fire." —

"Ademola Lookman is definitely in the running for African Footballer of the Year. Nigerian dominance continues!" — Godfrey
"Napoli will regret their decision to let Osimhen go. That’s all I’ll say." — TIMI The Event Shark

"The Super Eagles’ win gives hope to our domestic coaches. It’s great that Eguavoen, not a foreign coach, led us to this victory." — Yusuf Adebanjo
"Lookman is our star player, and it’s fantastic to see Osimhen back and scoring." — Joshua
"Ademola Lookman should at least be in the top 15 for the Ballon d’Or. Take a bow!" — Lasisi Iyanuloluwa
