Eagles players on rampage, fire warning shot to Algeria

The trio of Super Eagles players, Moses Simon, Chidozie Awaziem  and Odion Ighalo have fired warning shots to  the Fennces of Algeria as they scored for their various clubs.

KAA Gent winger, Simon scored his first league goal of the season, as his club forced home side, KV Kortrijk to a 1-1 draw at the Guldensporen Stadion,

The winger, who grabbed an assist last week, opened scoring in the 60th minute when he controlled a pass on his left foot before smashing a low drive past the goalkeeper to put his side 1-0 up and scoring his first goal this season in the Belgian league.

The results leaves KAA Gent 12th on the log with 10 points from 11 games and only leads Ajagun’s Kortrijk who is 13th with the same number of points on goal difference.

It was also good news for Eagles as, centre back, Chidozie Awaziem scored his first goal of the season in FC Nantes 2-1 home win to Guingamp.

The defender opened scoring nine minutes of play when he headed in a corner kick from Leo Dubois to put Nantes ahead, to the delight of him and his teammates.

Awaziem on -loan to Nantes from Porto, tried to score another when he flashed an effort wide in the second half as Nantes went in search of the match winner. However, it was Abdoulaye Toure who calmed the home team’s nerves when he scored the winner with six minutes from time.

Changchun Yatai made it back-to back wins in the Chinese Super League after beating Jiangsu Suning FC 3-1 in the Chinese Super League on Sunday, with in-form Nigerian striker, Odion Ighalo writing his name on the score-sheet again.

The Eagles striker has scored 15 league goals from 26 starts, and he’s among the top five strikers in China at the moment, statistically speaking.

Last weekend, Ighalo made himself available for selection for the upcoming World Cup qualifier against Algeria and the high-profile friendly versus Argentina on November 14.

Super Eagles will take on Algeria’s Fennces on November 10, in their final 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier at the Stade Mohamed Hamlaoui in Constantine .
