Ex-Super Eagles goalkeeper advises Nwabali after horrific show against Lesotho

The Super Eagles claimed a narrow 2-1 victory against Lesotho in their FIFA World Cup qualifiers in a bid to secure a ticket for the tournament.

During the game, Nwabali almost cost Nigeria, surrendering a two-goal lead, with his error leading to Lesotho’s first goal.

The goalkeeper’s mistake did not stop there, as he committed another blunder in injury time, which almost gifted them an equaliser.

Dosu has called for Nwabali to maintain his focus following criticism of his display against Lesotho.

In response, Dosu Joseph took to social media to offer his support and counsel to Nwabali, advising him to ignore the negative reactions and concentrate on his game.

"My advice to you is to remain focused at this crucial time," Joseph posted on X. "Stay concentrated and committed."

The Chippa United keeper faced scrutiny after a significant error almost cost Nigeria a vital three points at the Peter Mokaba Stadium on Friday.

Nwabali's mishandling of a corner kick allowed Hlompho Kalake to score for Lesotho with just seven minutes of normal time remaining, setting up a tense finish. 

Another moment of concern arose late in the match due to a mix-up involving defender Semi Ajayi.

The performance led to a backlash from some supporters, who suggested the goalkeeper was displaying overconfidence and should be dropped.
