William Troost-Ekong has said the Super Eagles deserved to earn a share of the spoils in their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying game against Benin Republic.
The Super Eagles held their hosts to a 1-1 draw at the Felix Houphouët-Boigny Stadium, Abidjan, on Thursday night.
Augustine Eguavoen’s side maintained their unbeaten run in the qualifiers, though they conceded for the first time.
Troost-Ekong said they were happy to book a spot at the AFCON 2025 finals.
“It was a fair result, and we’re very happy to have qualified and remain unbeaten in this campaign,” the centre-back said after the game.
“We were a bit unlucky with their goal because the person missing in the far post was Victor Osimhen and he was at the other end of the pitch.”
