Former Nigerian midfielder, Austin ‘Jay Jay’ Okocha has slammed Super Eagles striker, Taiwo Awoniyi for not taken some of the goal scoring chances that came his way against Sudan in Saturday’s 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.
Recall that the Union Berlin striker made it 2-0 after Samuel Chukwueze opened the scoring in the third minute.
While reacting to Awoniyi’s performance, Okocha told Supersports that the Nigerian international should have done better than the solitary goal he scored.
“Awoniyi would have done better. He would have scored more goals after that lucky goal but he was in too much of a haste.
“When he looks back at the match he would regret it.
“At least after scoring the goal, he would have gained more confidence.”
