AFCON 2025 qualifier: Eguavoen criticizes Super Eagles star following draw with Rwanda

Date:

Interim Super Eagles coach Augustine Eguavoen has criticized goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali for time-wasting during their 1-1 draw with Rwanda on Tuesday.

Nwabali, who started in the 3-0 victory over Benin Republic last weekend and was also chosen for the match against Rwanda, kept two clean sheets in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

Despite this, Eguavoen expressed dissatisfaction with his conduct in Kigali.

The Chippa United goalkeeper fell to the ground twice in the closing minutes against Rwanda.

“I don’t encourage such, it’s something we have to talk about, and we all know he’s one of the best goalkeepers in Africa right now. Some officials can get irritated as well and then start to add more minutes.

“It’s not a game plan. I told you before we came here to get three points so delaying such balls is not the best. It’s an in-house talk, we will discuss, going forward such things will not happen,” Eguavoen said as quoted by ANS.
