AFCON 2025:- Game against Uganda was opportunity for us to try other things – Chelle
Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle has said the game against Uganda afforded him the chance to try other things with his team.
After securing their spot in the round of 16, the Super Eagles faced Uganda in their final Group C fixture.
Chelle made eight changes in his starting line-up from the game against Tunisia, with only Calvin Bassey, Bruno Onyemaechi and Victor Osimhen, who captained the side keeping their place.
The likes of Francis Uzoho, Ryan Alebiosu, Igoh Ogbu, Raphael Onyedika, Moses Simon, Samuel Chukwueze, Paul Onuachu and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru started.
After 90 minutes the Super Eagles won 3-1 thanks to a brace from Onyedika and a solitary strike from Onuachu.
