Afcon 2019: Garba Lawal urges Nigeria to play as a team against Cameroon

Ex-Nigeria International Garba Lawal believes Super Eagles are capable of beating any side at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations - including Cameroon - if they show the right attitude and play as a team.

Lawal claims Nigeria's loss to Madagascar was a one-off and on current form they have what it takes to beat the Indomitable Lions.

He, however, opined that they must do so with determination and willingness to make sacrifices for one another on the pitch, from the beginning until the end of the game.

“I don’t think it will be right for us to judge the Eagles based on their loss to Madagascar because situations like that happen in football and one cannot help it if it does,” Lawal told Goal.
