Super Eagles: Eguavoen reveals Boniface’s main problem

Super Eagles coach Augustine Eguavoen has revealed striker Victor Boniface’s big problem amid his lack of goals for the national team.

Eguavoen said Boniface likes to “dress and dress” the ball before deciding to shoot.

Boniface failed to score again for the Super Eagles as they defeated Libya 1-0 in a 2025 Africa Cup of Nations AFCON qualifier at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo on Friday evening.

The Bayer Leverkusen star failed to score against Rwanda and Benin Republic last month.

“Boniface is a very good striker, a clinical finisher, but he has struggled in the national colours,” Eguavoen told the post-match press conference after Nigeria beat Libya.

“Sometimes these opportunities don’t come. I remember it happened in Rwanda just like today. When you have half chances, players like Romario kick the ball.

“But Bonifacio likes to dress and dress and then the defenders recover. If he decides in time, Boniface will score many goals”.
