Still savouring the six points he won from the Match-day 3 and 4 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Benin Republic Head Coach, Gernot Rohr, has questioned the mentality of the Super Eagles players who lost 1-2 to his side on Monday evening in Abidjan.
The win has made the Cheetahs of Benin joint leaders of Group C with Rwanda and South Africa who similarly defeated Lesotho and Zimbabwe respectively yesterday evening. All three teams now have seven points apiece.
He insisted that despite Super Eagles opening goal, his wards knew they could comeback against Nigeria. Meanwhile, the Super Eagles have apologized to Nigeria over their poor run so far in the qualifiers, most especially the 1-2 loss to Benin Republic on Monday.
