Super Eagles ready for second-leg encounter against Libya in AFCON qualifier 

276
Nigeria’s winger Moses Simon has assured fans that the Super Eagles are fully prepared to counter any tactics Libya may employ in their upcoming second-leg clash in the AFCON 2025 qualifiers.
Nigeria secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory in the first leg in Uyo, but Libya’s time-wasting and disruptive tactics posed significant challenges for the Super Eagles.

Simon acknowledged the team’s awareness of the difficulties they will face in the away fixture but expressed confidence in their ability to overcome them.

“We are fully prepared for whatever dark arts or tactics Libya might bring,” he stated.

The Super Eagles will face Libya on Tuesday, seeking to build on their first-leg victory and further their bid to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

With their sights set on another win, Simon’s assurance will boost fan confidence in the team’s ability to navigate Libya’s tactics and secure a positive result.

As the Super Eagles aim to maintain their perfect start to the qualifying campaign, their mental and tactical preparedness will be crucial in overcoming the challenges posed by Libya.
