Super Eagles defender Kenneth Omeruo who plies his trade in the elite Spanish League , National Daily learnt.

“I will ever cherish my first AFCON goal for the Super Eagles of Nigeria in the ongoing AFCON tournament.”

“We needed a goal and it came at the right time, we have so far defended well which have yielded us two clean straight sheets in the ongoing tournament which is good for our confidence as a team.”

“As a defender I’m glad, we are yet to concede a goal in the tournament.”

“We will keep pushing because it is glaring there are no small teams in African football anymore and that is the reason for the slim victory in the first match against Burundi which ended 1 nil in our favour , this match against Guinea also that ended in 1nil victory for us.
