Johnathan McKinstry believes Nigeria could win AFCON 2021

African football expert Johnathan McKinstry believes that Nigeria have the potential to go all the way in AFCON 2021 and win the prestigious trophy.

The Super Eagles have been brilliant so far in the tournament, winning all three of their Group D matches.

They faced tough opponents in Mohamed Salah’s Egypt in their opening game at Roumdé Adjia Stadium. However, Augustine Eguavoen’s side managed to overcome the Pharaohs with Kelechi Iheanacho scoring to help them secure a 1-0 victory.

Nigeria then eased past Sudan last weekend, with three of their players earning their names on the scoresheet to claim a 3-1 win.
