Afcon 2019: Nwankwo Kanu attempts to lift Super Eagles after Madagascar defeat

Nigeria football great Nwankwo Kanu has called on Super Eagles players to shake off their defeat to Madagascar and go for the Africa Cup of Nations title.

Gernot Rohr’s men were shocked 2-0 by the debutants at Alexandria Stadium on Sunday, finishing as Group B runners-up.

The defeat ended the three-time African champions run of nine games without a defeat in the competition.

However, Kanu, a veteran of six Afcon tournament appearances has attempted to lift Rohr’s side.

We win some we loose some but we know what we want so let’s be united and go for the cup.
