The back heel pass from Okocha to Iroha was the same back heel pass Ola Aina gave to Ighalo during the 2019 Afcon in Egypt. The game was Nigeria VS Burundi , but Aina's assist to Ighalo was even more magical than Okocha's to Iroha. Please watch the 2 assists and compare , which is of World class ? Check also Kanu's back heel pass to Ikpeba in the 2000 Afcon match against Tunisia , World class assist.

This team assembled by Clemence Westerhof have been the best Team we ever had in the history of the Super Eagles so far. I always weep when I see how they robbed Nigeria and Africa at large at the World Cup against Italy in Round of 16 games. That team was good to take the USA 94 World Cup and they didn't want it to happen so they robbed us silly. Roberto Bagio's deliberate foul and injury to take out Daniel the bull was over looked and the Clear Scoring chance of the great striker Rasheed Yekini was truncated by a deliberate fork which was not penalised with a red card!!!!😢

Amokachi is really underrated, maybe because he didn't score a lot of goals. But, man was a machine in that attack. Created over 4 clear chances for Yekini in this game. I think personal glory and selfishness crept into the team during the world cup and it affected Yekini's performance and output.
