The Unity Cup world champion of the world.” @ckay67, “Team played really well bar the defending across the box. Love the fluidity along the front 4. Masterclasses from Ndidi and Onyeka pivot. Lesley Ugochukwu would be a massive addition if he plays for us. Looking forward to more of this.” @mimshach_md, “Loved Frederick in CB. Young lad and he did so well. Amazing stuff.” @EmirOluyole, “Felix Agu is the new name this tournament has given us.” @MadeOfBlaq, “Though it’s a glorified friendly… Still, congratulations.” @maestro_harcom, “I enjoyed every bit of that game.” @Damilare__O, “The boys took the penalty well.
