Nigeria Football Supporters Club has congratulated the Super Eagles duo of Wilfred Ndidi and Kelechi Iheanacho on Leicester City’s 1-0 victory over Manchester City in the Community Shield game played Saturday, at Wembley stadium.
In the congratulatory message signed by the National Chairman of NFSC, Amb(Rev) Samuel Ikpea, described the victory as a welcome development and the needed fillip for the Nigerian players, ahead of the new football season.
While midfielder Ndidi started and finished the game, Iheanacho, a 79th-minute substitute scored the lone and winning goal via penalty, having been hacked in the box by Nathan Are.
” Nigeria Football Supporters Club are very happy that our players, Ndidi and Iheanacho have continued from where they left last season by winning the first official game of the English new football season.
