The Super Eagles stand-in captain, Anayo Iwuala has stated that the players will forever remember the experience of playing against Mexico.

Iwuala captained the Super Eagles against Mexico because Ikechukwu Ezenwa had sustained injuries, but he could not save them from suffering a 4-0 defeat to Mexico in the international friendly game on Sunday, July 4, 2021.

The team had a bad start to the game as Mexico scored twice within the opening five minutes.

“It was a great experience for us as an African player. It was a very big game because we wanted to show our quality and we are very happy to have this great opportunity. But we are unlucky that it ended this way but it is a great experience for us.

“Our hope is to take it further to Europe to get more opportunity and to get more exposure and work ahead for the greater task,” Anayo said at the post-match conference.
