The Super Eagles of Nigeria have been held to a goalless draw by the Leone Stars of Sierra Leone on Tuesday.
The AFCON qualifier game which was played in Freetown, Sierra Leone, is the second leg after a 4-4 draw in Nigeria.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Youths and Sports Development, Sunday Dare, has said that the performance of Gernot Rohr as Super Eagles coach will soon be reappraised.
Dare said this after the Super Eagles 4-4 home draw against Sierra Leone last Friday.
According to him, regardless of the outcome of the return leg of the game, Rohr’s performance will be reappraised to see if he’s capable of leading the team to their expectation.
“The task at the moment is to get the team firmly back on track towards picking one of the group’s two tickets on offer for the 2022 AFCON.
“A win in Freetown will seal a 19th participation in the African Mundial.
“After this, we can now debate Mr. Rohr’s suitability as we seek to return Nigeria to the pedestal of African football and one of the beautiful game’s powerhouses in world football.
“We will reappraise Mr. Rohr’s performance since he was named as Super Eagles manager and see if he is the right man to fulfill our expectations,” Dare said.
