00:06 There's the ball in the corner.
00:08 Well he's had a modest club career, mostly in the third tier in Spain, now on loan in Poland.
00:16 But always done the business for Equatorial Guinea.
00:20 Is there a quick response? Luchman with the left foot, yes there is! Ossermann!
00:24 [Music]
00:26 Flag stays down. Luchman and then Ossermann had the simplest of tasks, to just head it over the line.
00:33 They'll check for the offside, he was well onside there.
00:37 [Music]
00:40 It was Esteban Orozco who played him onside and the big striker from Napoli.
00:48 [Music]
00:51 As Luchman is about to send a very dangerous corner in, dealt with very well there by Ondua.
00:58 And the mean man just pounced and the delivery coming once again, coming in by Luchman.
01:04 A great opportunity on the edge of the penalty box, stopped there by Ondua.
01:07 Oh it's gone in! It's gone in! The Super Eagles, they are soaring super high.
01:14 That's the goal that we were talking about.
01:16 Ajayi! You can see the pressure from the corner kick and the goalkeeper came out twice.
01:24 He never dealt with it and he gave Nadjeran the opportunity. And what a way to start.
01:29 First of all, goalkeepers shouldn't have been out there punching there.
01:32 Should have been their defender. Luchman gets it, puts another one over there.
01:36 Goalkeeper comes out, he's down on the ground, it's been picked up.
01:39 A shot, he's down on the ground. Look, the defenders need to come in there, surely Daniel?
01:43 Yeah, definitely. The goalkeeper should have done his.
01:46 The number one important message to the goalkeeper is to use your fist to punch, not just to parallel the ball.
01:53 And he paralleled it twice and it cost the team to concede a goal.
01:58 Super, super pressure from the Super, Super Eagles.
02:02 They have laid down a marker here in the opening minutes and Cameroon under a lot of pressure here.
02:08 They know that they now need to set things up and get some ball.
02:13 Look at the celebrations.
02:14 They're looking for an equaliser.
02:16 Luchman, Luchman, Alex Iwobi gets the ball out to the left-hand side, the delivery comes in.
02:20 Oh, it's a great goal! They've got a goal, Nigeria!
02:24 Goal number two, that is fabulous, fabulous play.
02:28 Oh, the follow-up, the pass and the shot was just sublime.
02:33 Nigeria are soaring high, that's surely the final word, the final statement.
02:41 The top flights of the Super Eagles, brilliant play.
02:45 I'm just trying to see who actually finished it off.
02:49 I think it was Luchman.
02:50 I think it was Luchman, that's his brace.
02:52 Yeah, it is, Luchman, Luchman, it's me!
02:55 And you can see, you know, the excitement from the Nigerian spectators in the crowd.
03:00 I can see a lot of good faces, that's a good combination play and they did it sound right.
03:06 And you have to give credit to Calvin, because Calvin saw it, he made the run and he didn't just bring the cross in.
03:12 He looked for a flare and he crossed the ball into Luchman's path and Luchman placed the ball beautifully into the back of the net.
03:19 That shot, Daniel, you know what it's like to be in that position.
03:24 He opened up his right foot, he got enough force to get that shot to buckle the hands of Fabrice Ndoua.
03:33 His positioning is just great.
03:39 That's a good opportunity, little bit of space, Moses Simon down the left hand side, can he get a shot in?
03:44 Squashes it into the back of the net!
03:46 Nigeria, it's Luchman, Luchman's done it, he's got that goal.
03:51 Beautiful work from the wingers, the wingers come together and celebrate Nigeria take the lead.
04:00 The celebrations, Freddo, the super egos take the lead here in Abidjan.
04:11 Moses Simon, dancing down the left side, saw his butt and Nigeria celebrate.
04:20 Already how Evobi changed sides and then that was the sluggishness of Gaspar.
04:28 He's not the fastest player, you see, and Moses Simon goes in.
04:34 Very good vision, you know, he lifts his head and gives the right pass.
04:44 Wonderfully played, but already how Evobi changed the side, got that vision and then Moses Simon giving the great pass.
04:54 Anybody who knows anything about eagles knows that they've got amazing vision.
05:01 That was pinpoint accurate.
