Lesotho despite being the underdogs and ranked 153rd impressed in the match and went toe-to-toe with the Eagles. They eventually took took the lead in the 56th minute against the run of play, but were pegged back 11 minutes later, when defender Semi Ajayi scored a header from a corner kick.

Although the Super Eagles enjoyed the lion’s share of the possession in the match, they however were unable to grab the win due to a combination of wasteful finishing and good defending from Lesotho.

The result has led to a barrage of criticism online from fans and journalists who all lamented the costly points dropped at home, and the poor performance put on stage.
