The Super Eagles did their best
According to Paul Fakayejo, the drama on social media played a role in the Super Eagles' performance.
"The Super Eagles did their best. However, like Bovi said, I think social media play a part in their defeat to Morocco, the drama that brew before the match especially with unpaid bonus was also a cause. All I can say is we did our best," he said.
