After Nigeria’s narrow 1-0 win over Libya in their Africa Cup of Nations qualifier, Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali took a jab at Libyan shot-stopper Murad Al Wuheeshi.
Ranked 82 places below Nigeria, the Mediterranean Knights came close to snatching a point before Fisayo Dele-Bashiru’s late goal broke their resistance.
Al Wuheeshi’s Time Wasting Tactics Backfire
Libya adopted defensive tactics throughout the match, with Al Wuheeshi frequently seeking medical attention to slow the game down.
However, Nigeria’s efforts were to no avail as Dele-Bashiru scored in the 86th minute to give Nigeria the lead and force Libya to chase an equalizer.
