Afcon 2019: Super Eagles know how to play Algeria - Mikel

Super Eagles skipper John Obi Mikel has asserted they are not panicky ahead of their 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) duel with Algeria because they have beaten the same team before.

The Desert Foxes with all their star players lost 3-1 to Nigeria at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium, Uyo on November 12, 2016.

They, however, won the return leg 3-0 by default after Fifa awarded the Desert Foxes three points as a result of Nigeria fielding an ineligible player, Shehu Abdullahi after the game had ended in a 1-1 draw.
