Nigerians have taken to social media to express their anger on Friday evening, November 13, after Super Eagles were forced to a 4-4 draw by Sierra Leone at the Samuel Ogbemudia stadium.

Super Eagles went into this game with boosted morale having won their first two games in the qualifiers, but they were unable to beat Sierra Leone who came from 4-1 down to get a draw.

Gernot Rohr and his men took a 4-1 lead to the dressing room and the hopes of Nigerians was that they would come back in the second half to score more goals.

But the Super Eagles missed many scoring chances and allowed Sierra Leone to come back and score three goals in the second half.

The match ended 4-4 in Benin and fans have blamed Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr for the disappointing result against Sierra Leone.

Some are of the opinions that the German football tactician should be sacked by the Nigeria Football Federation because of the draw against the Stars.
