Best Super Eagles Goals

 

However, Nigeria has collected a sizable highlight reel of goals throughout the years, with many of the Super Eagles' goals being warmly recalled around the globe.

The top Nigerian Super Eagles goals are listed below, from worst to finest. The emphasis was placed on aesthetic appeal, build-up play, and execution. Therefore, a goal would not necessarily be penalised for coming in a loss because the context in which the goals were scored is less significant.

The Super Eagles team has experienced great success over the years both inside and outside of Africa due to the continent's production of some of the most lethal forwards a team could ask for.

Following the Super Eagles' 10-0 thumping of Sao Tome and Principe on Monday, PREMIUM TIMES looks back at seven of the team's most memorable wins.

After taking first place at the 2013 AFCON competition, which was held in South Africa, the Super Eagles represented Africa at the Confederations Cup. Nnamdi Oduamadi scored a hat trick as Stephen Keshi's team defeated the opposition 6-1 to get off to a solid start in the competition.

Another great triumph in June that is clouded by the passing of native coach Shaibu Amodu. Rasheed Yekini, Samson Siasia, and Mutiu Adepoju each scored a brace as the Super Eagles defeated their European opponents 5-0 in this friendly game at the Liberty Stadium in Ibadan.

In the preliminary round of qualification for the Qatar 2022 World Cup, the Liberian Lone Stars and the Super Eagles were placed in the same group.

The Eagles' 2-0 victories at home and away were praised, but George Weah's kingsmen performed worse in the 2013 AFCON Qualifiers.

The Super Eagles travelled back to Lagos with a goal after being held to a 1-1 draw by Burkina Faso in Ouagadougou during the 1992 AFCON qualifying matches. At the Surulere National Stadium, the Super Eagles defeated the Stallions 7-1.

On Valentine's Day in 1977, the Nigerian national team played a friendly match against the neighbouring Benin Republic, but they exhibited no brotherly love.

In Lagos, Tiko Jelisavcic's Eagles trounced the Squirrels 7-0 thanks to hat-tricks from Thompson Usiyen and doubles from Godwin Iwelimo. Samuel Ojebode and Alloysius Atuegbu both scored goals as the Squirrels were watching the seven wonders of Lagos.

Prior to Sao Tome and Principe's 10-0 thrashing of the country in Morocco on Monday, this 63-year-old victory represented the nation's largest victory ever.

Onyeali Elkana set a record by scoring four super eagles goals in this game for Nigeria, a performance that was not matched until Yekini in 1991 and then Osimhen three decades later.
