3rd National Appearance III

The game resumed with the Supa Eagles taking the corner, but the Benin players were alert to the ball coming in and quickly cleared it away.

The ball was cleared properly this time, leaving no scraps for any Nigerian player to pick up. The game resumed in the middle of the pitch, with the Benin team trying to get the ball past the Nigerian players while the Nigerian players were trying to steal the ball from them.

With such an exciting start, what followed didn't disappoint the fans of either country and they were almost at the edge of their seats as the match raged on.

Normally international matches were not especially tactical and it was just a bunch of players doing their own thing most of the time and matches between African teams usually took that to another level with all sorts of comedic moments usually happening all over the pitch whenever anyone tried to be a show off.
