Moses Simon has once again proved his worth on the international scene as he helped the Super Eagles qualify for next year’s AFCON in Côte d’Ivoire. The Nantes forward was on the starting lineup as the Eagles edged Sierra Leone 3-2 in a Group A match-day five game in Monrovia, Liberia.
Simon’s contribution did not go unnoticed as French topflight organiser Ligue 1 congratulated him on their Twitter page. The league posted a picture of Simon, highlighting his role in the Eagles’ qualification.
The Super Eagles’ victory was thanks to Victor Osimhen’s first-half brace and Kelechi Iheanacho’s winner in stoppage time. With 12 points, the Eagles now sit at the top of Group A and will take on São Tomé and Principe in an inconsequential fixture in September.
Simon’s performance on the pitch was a testament to his skills and abilities as a forward. He exhibited precision, speed, and agility, which are crucial in the game of football. As a professional player, Simon’s dedication and hard work have paid off, and he has become a valuable asset to both his club and country.
In conclusion, Simon’s qualification for the AFCON is a remarkable achievement, and it is a testament to his commitment to the game. As fans, we look forward to seeing more of his outstanding performances both for the Super Eagles and Nantes.
