Equatorial Guinea goalkeeper Jesus Owono said teamwork was vital to the team’s good performance against Nigeria.
The Nzalang Nacional held the Super Eagles to a 1-1 draw in their Group B encounter at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations on Sunday afternoon.
Ivan Salvador gave Equatorial Guinea the lead in the 36th minute.
Nigeria, however, equalised quickly by Victor Osimhen.
Owono, who was voted Man of the Match after the game, was full of appreciation for his teammates.
“The unity in our team made the difference for us against Nigeria,” he told a press conference after the game.
“Our strength was the teamwork we showed on the pitch. We were not intimidated and took the game to them.”
Juan Micha’s side will now face Guinea-Bissau in their next encounter on Thursday.
