Many were of the views that the Nigerian Football Federation should allow Gernot Rohr to leave, the Amaju Pinnick tendered apology on behalf of the team with the promise that they would win the return leg.

According to the report on Daily Post and Soccernet, Gernot Rohr explained that he had to make some changes which helped his team.

Gernot Rohr's reaction

“We changed the system and played three [defenders] at the back which helped us as well as the leadership of Ahmed Musa to win this game.

“It is not easy to play the Central African Republic. They committed a lot of fouls but fortunately, we didn’t have any big injuries.''

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how two first-half goals from Leon Balogun and Victor Osimhen were all the Super Eagles needed to outshine their hosts Central African Republic in their 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers on Sunday, October 10.

The three-time African champions claimed maximum points away from home after their disappointing defeat to the same opposition at the Teslim Balogun Stadium a few days ago.

Balogun opened the scoring for the visitors just one minute before the half-hour mark from close range after benefiting from a long delivery into the home team's danger zone.

Having lost the first leg by a single goal, coach Gernot Rohr's men worked hard to ensure it doesn't repeat itself as they played more attacking football in Douala.
