Super Eagles shocked by Madagascar in AFCON’s biggest upset

A 2-0 loss to Madagascar in Sunday’s Africa Cup of Nations outing has left Nigerians fuming on social media. Gernot Rohr’s men were outclassed by the debuting nation in the battle for group supremacy in Alexandria.

A first-half effort from Lalaina Nomenjanahary and a Carolus Andriamatsinoro deflected free-kick in the 53rd minute was enough for the Barea to grab a famous win against the three-time African champions.

Although the Super Eagles qualified for the Round of 16 as Group B runners-up behind Nicolas Dupuis’ men, football enthusiasts across the country are far from happy after the embarrassing loss.
