The Eagles gave up a four-goal lead to draw with Sierra Leone in an AFCON qualifier.

Both teams will clash again tomorrow in continuation of the qualifying series.

Watford defender Ekong said he is counting on the never-say-die Nigerian spirit for the Eagles to win in Freetown to book their place at the 2022 AFCON in Cameroon.

“It is our ‘Naija’ spirit to overcome and succeed,” he tweeted.
