Eagles prey on squirrels - Nigeria 1-0 Benin

Aerial Kings victory bought about a grin
Benin on the end of a tight Eagles win

Under pressure Gaffer rang in two changes
Danny Shittu given a first start in ages

Yakubu fluffed an elementary one on one
Hand of Boco then reloaded the gun

Toffee hit the penalty straight and true
Releasing the tension from Shaibu Amodu

Task in hand crystal clear for next week
Three points required against Mozambique
