‘A sign of good things to come’ – Adepoju hopeful about Nigeria’s future after Brazil draw

goal.com, 13 October 2019, 17:18
Gernot Rohr’s men held the five-time world champions in Singapore and the Super Eagles legend has applauded the feat

Former Nigeria international Mutiu Adepoju has spoken of his optimism of Nigeria’s future after drawing 1-1 against Brazil in Sunday’s international friendly.

The Super Eagles surprisingly held the five-time world champions to a stalemate with Joe Aribo scoring the opener in the encounter before Casemiro levelled for the South Americans.

The West Africans’ last meeting with Brazil ended in a 3-0 defeat in front of their home fans in Abuja in 2003.

Adepoju, who had 54 caps for the Super Eagles, believes the future is bright for the three-time African champions following their performance in Singapore.

“Well-done brave Super Eagles. This draw looks like a win and I believe this is a sign of good things to come for our senior national team,” Adepoju tweeted.

“Also, there are lots of lessons to take home against Brazil and that is very important.”

Well-done brave @NGSuperEagles! This draw looks like a win and I believe this is a sign of good things to come for our senior national team. Also, there are lots of lessons to take home against Brazil and that is very important.
