SACK Trending On X As Nigerians Call For Jose Peseiro’s Sack
The word, “Sack” has started trending on X following the Super Eagles 1-1 draw with Lesotho in the 2026 World Cup qualifying match played in Uyo.
Super Eagles fans are calling for Eagles manager, Jose Peseiro.
Nigeria were held to a 1-1 draw at home by minnows Lesotho.
Motlomelo Mkwanazi gave Lesotho, ranked 153rd in the world – 113 places below Nigeria – a shock lead with a 56th-minute goal from a corner.
West Brom centre-back Semi Ajayi powerfully headed in Kelechi Iheanacho’s corner to level 11 minutes later but the Super Eagles could not find a winner in their Group C opener in a rainy Uyo.
Jose Peseiro’s side had dominated the first half but paid for their profligacy as Iheanacho saw a free-kick saved, Nottingham Forest striker Taiwo Awoniyi failed to capitalise on a promising cut-back and Ademola Lookman had a low shot across goal turned away.
