Here are some comments collected by DAILY POST from X:
@damzy_drumz: “We are getting closer.”
@VictorEno98284: “That game was tense; we should have secured the win before full time. Ndidi was outstanding. Frederick played excellently, while Iwobi struggled. Osimhen should have scored three goals or more; those misses were unacceptable. On to Sunday, the coach gets a 10/10.”
@Herroyalflynex: “It’s a wrap!!! On to the next one, boys.”
@VirtueAmiofori: “On to the next.”
@Assabur12: “We did it at last. Start preparing your USA visa and flight ticket money; don't worry.”
@Herroyalflynex: “It’s a wrap!!! On to the next one, boys!!!”

@Abayommii: “What a match! Nwabali almost gave himself a heart attack, not me.”
@BigDee26: “Special recognition and appreciation to Benjamin Fredericks; he is the second coming of Taribo West, no joke. I haven't seen a Nigerian defender play with such composure and determination since the days of Taye Taiwo and Taribo. At least we now have the right wing-back position secured.”
@Mickytoro: “Eric Chelle has done an incredible job coaching this team. The players are starting to look like a solid unit and are improving with each game. May that continue.”
@Fcb_ebenezer: “You didn’t have to embarrass Gabon in your bio.”
