The Super Eagles of Nigeria has set record as the only team that has won its three matches in the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON 2022 in Cameroon.
Sadiq Umar and Willam Troost Ekong were the goal scorers for the Super Eagles in Wednesday’s final group game.
Despite fielding a second-string side, the Super Eagles were too much to handle for the Wild Dogs as they thumped them 2-0.
Eguavoen, 56, is the only man to have coached Nigeria to win all three matches in the group phase of the AFCON since the country started participating at this level since 1963.
He was head coach when the Eagles defeated Ghana 1-0, Zimbabwe 2-0 and Senegal 2-1 at the Al Masry Stadium, Port Said to sweep the stakes at the 2006 finals.
In 15 matches across four stints, the 1994 AFCON winner and two-time FIFA World Cup defender has left the field victorious in 13 matches, losing only two – the 0-1 defeat to Cote d’Ivoire in the semi-final of the 2006 finals and a 2012 AFCON qualifier in Guinea that was embroiled in circumstances of uncertainty, which the team lost by the odd goal.
