Super Eagles defender Ọla Aina and forward Samuel Chukwueze has got everyone talking as the Super Eagles of Nigeria clinched began a vital 1-0 win over the Swallows of Burundi in their opening match of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) at the Alexandria Stadium in Egypt.
Asides the pace and trickery of Samuel Chukwueze which has got Nigerians talking, Ighalo’s brilliant strike and the sumptuous no look back heel pass from Torino’s Ọlá Aina has also caught the attention of many who took to twitter to share their delight.
You see that Samuel Chukwueze boy? Absolute baller. Special player. The type that comes through once in a while. If he adds goals to his game, improves his decision making. He’s going to be a terror. Talent!!!

Chukwueze has twisted the waist of two Burundi defenders. That boy is pure evil!
