Some Nigerians have taken to Twitter to pour out their annoyance after the Super Eagles surrendered a four-goal lead to draw their African Cup of Nations qualifier clash with Sierra Leone.
The game, which held on Friday night at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Edo, ended in an eight-goal thriller.
The Eagles were leading the Leone Stars 4-0 in the first 30 minutes before they threw away the four-goal lead to draw at full time.
The scoreline has since generated mixed reactions on social media platforms, especially Twitter, where some Nigerians blamed the draw on poor selection by Gernot Rohr, the Eagles coach.

I don’t understand how Rohr would call up players and end up not using them like why are you wasting our money if they are just gonna end up been on the bench. How can we be leading 4-0 and end up drawing with Sierra Leone.. SIERRA LEONE 😡 https://t.co/JoORGYJYfd

When Edo people were campaigning for Obaseki, we used one slogan at that time. "4+4 Torgba". This is the result. 😂😂😂 https://t.co/rTa9KFV6oU

Go and bring Edo deputy governor, Amaju Pinnick and Sunday Dare to score their own goals since they trained with you guys. You should know this is a qualifying match and not some political show face game.
Morons! https://t.co/NrhzVym7FZ

Rohr should be sacked. Poor selection, playing players in the wrong position, zero tactical awareness, no pattern of play, zero game management. This performance/result is abominable. @thenff @TopmostStriker
