The fullback was immense in the Super Eagles victory over the Pharaohs of Egypt-terrorising the Egyptian backline while also keeping the Eagles defence secure.

The former Chelsea man says the team remains focused on the next clash with Sudan.

“We will take it game by game. We need the same concentration and quality in the next match.” Aina told the media.

Following an impressive start, Nigeria goes into their next clash as firm favourites.
