Super Eagles stand-in captain William Troost-Ekong has hailed the Confederation of Africa Football (CAF) for its verdict over the botched Libya vs Nigeria game.
CAF awarded three points and goals to Nigeria and fined the Libya Football Federation (LFF) $50,000 over the abandoned 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier.
Following the verdict, Troost-Ekong described the move as justice served.
“JUSTICE: CAF awards three points and three goals to Nigeria. Libya fined $50,000,” Troost-Ekong said.
“Plane was diverted 300km from scheduled airport even when the pilot told them he was low on fuel. One step closer to our target AFCON 2025.”
