Kelechi Iheanacho's goal was a testament to his skill and determination, but ultimately, it was not enough to inspire his team to victory. The defeat raises concerns about the Super Eagles' ability to cope with the pressure of high-stakes matches, particularly in the absence of key players. With the World Cup qualifiers just around the corner, the Eagles will need to regroup and refocus if they are to stand any chance of qualifying for the tournament.
