Super Eagles caretaker coach Augustine Eguavoen has attributed Nigeria's dominant 3-0 win over Benin Republic in their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier to the quality of the players rather than the tactical system used, Soccernet.ng reports .
In a commanding performance at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo, Nigeria began their AFCON qualifying campaign in style.
Eguavoen, leading the team in his fourth stint as coach, opted for a 3-4-3 formation, and the Super Eagles did not disappoint.
Ademola Lookman struck twice, while Victor Osimhen, coming off the bench, added the third to seal a comfortable victory over the Benin Cheetahs.
Despite the successful result, Eguavoen emphasised that the teams quality of players was the decisive factor, not necessarily the tactics employed.
