Akpoborie not impressed with Ethiopia defeat, says Eagles need a miracle to reach semis

By Ifreke Inyang

Jonathan Akpoborie has stated that he was less than impressed with the Super Eagles’ victory over Ethiopia and that they would need a miracle to go past Cote d’Voire in their quarter-final encounter.
“The Eagles performance against Ethiopia was nothing to write home about. The only good thing about the game for us is that we won. How we scored against the lowest rated team at the competition was not the best,” the ex-Nigeria international told MTNFootball.com
“On paper Cote d’Ivoire are favourites to win the competition and on the field, they have been acting like that too. But in football anything could happen.
“Chances of Nigeria winning this one, only Jesus can save. We need a miracle to beat them especially we play this match the way we played our last three matches.”

Akpoborie was however full of praise for Chelsea forward, who grabbed a brace in the game against Ethiopia.
He said: “I told you before the tournament that Moses will play a big part for Nigeria and he has been doing well, while Ahmed Musa has been the most disappointing player in the team after so much was expected of him.”
