Despite being wasteful at the match played at the Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium in Abidjan, the Nigerian team still ended the Group stage match at second place behind Equatorial Guinea, thanks to a cross from Simon which was diverted into the net by Opa Sangante in the 36th minute.

Commenting on the Monday evening match, Simon said: “It was a good win for us. To make it from the group was a good one for us.”

“We are not thinking about the opponent we will be facing in the next round. I can’t even say we have any preference for a team we want to face

“We have to be ready for all opposition if we want to win the title. Any team that we draw in the next round, we are ready for them and all other teams too,” Simon told a press conference in Abidjan.
