Wolverhampton Wanderers goalkeeper, Carl Ikeme, says he is excited he kept a second clean sheet for Nigeria in his second cap.
Ikeme was between the posts in Nigeria’s
0-0 draw with Tanzania on Saturday in their Gabon 2017 Africa Cup of
Nations qualifier in Dar es Salaam. He also played in the Eagles’ 2-0
win in a friendly against Niger Republic on Tuesday in Port Harcourt. He
was substituted in the second half of the match.
The England-based custodian was picked by
Nigeria coach Sunday Oliseh against Tanzania after first choice keeper,
Vincent Enyeama, pulled out of the match following the death of his
mother.
“Nice to finish the week off with a 2-0 win with @NGSuperEagles,” Ikeme wrote on his Twitter account on Wednesday.
“Great atmosphere yesterday (Tuesday) from the fans in Port Harcourt!!!! Thank you!!!”
Also, Eagles defender, William Troost-Ekong, says he is excited the Eagles defeated Niger.
The defender also expressed his happiness
over his meeting with former Nigeria captain, Nwankwo Kanu. Kanu was at
the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium, Port Harcourt on Tuesday to watch the
game against Niger.
Ekong, who plays for Haugesund in the
Norwegian Premier League, wrote on his Twitter page, “On my way back to
my club. Great to get a 2-0 win yesterday against Niger. Wish all my
brothers safe journey back @NGSuperEagles.
