“We have to forget that we defeated the host nation. There is a lot more work to be done. We want to be here for the long haul.”
The Super Eagles are expected to qualify to the next round after a win over the Elephants, but they most first get a win or draw in their last group A match against Guinea Bissau to be sure of qualification to the round of 16.
The Super Eagles will play Guinea Bissau on Monday at 6pm Nigerian time at the Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium, Abidjan.
