The match winner for the senior national team of Nigeria in the 1-0 win over Libya at the Godswill Akpabio stadium in Uyo on Friday has revealed the secret behind his goal which was scored in the 87th minute of the win, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Lazio midfielder Fisayo Dele-Bashiru was introduced as a second half substitute and he broke the deadlock with three minutes left to play and it ended as the winner. It was his second international goal for Nigeria in five games.
Prior to his introduction Nigeria have wasted lot of chances with Libya resorting to defending in numbers, and also using time wasting antics to frustrate the Nigerians who were keen on a win that will keep them top of the group.
He revealed the secret of the match winning goal in a chat with our reporter shortly before the trip to Libya for the reverse tie game, which was supposed to be played yesterday but canceled after the Super Eagles were left stranded at the hotel for over 18 hours upon arrival for the game.
” Before I was introduced I could see Moses Simon was putting the ball in those spaces. So when I was introduced he knew where I was because the moment I made the runs he delivered the ball right to my feet with right pace making it easy for him to power it home” , he said.
