A yet-to-be-identified Ghanaian fan has reportedly slumped and collapsed after meeting with Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen at the Estadio 24 de Setembro Sunday evening.
The Super Eagles of Nigeria trained at the Estadio 24 de Setembro stadium in Bissau on Sunday ahead of their second leg of the AFCON qualifier.
It was later declared that the fan was resuscitated by sympathizers on ground.
Reporting a similar incident that took place inside the Bissau stadium, football commentator and content creator, Randa Andrew, revealed how away fans appreciated the Super Eagles.
Speaking further, he affirmed also how a fan, names withheld, has collapsed and betrayed his emotion as he burst into tears after hugging Italian Serie A top scorer Victor Osimhen.
Taking to his verified Twitter handle, he revealed, “Photos from Eagles training session at September 24 stadium in Bissau. Team green won the 20mins practice session 3-2.
“Weird Scenes today after training. Guinea-Bissau fans love SE. One ran into the pitch, hugged Victor Osimhen and then collapsed and started crying. It was a tough day at training for the stadium security.”
Recall Guinea-Bissau defeated Nigeria Super Eagles last weekend at the Moshood Abiola Stadium in Abuja, in front of their home fans.
Super Eagles was defeated through a 29th minute goal by Esperance Sportive Troyes Aube Champagne forward, Mama Balde.
Balde took advantage of a mistake by Nigerian center-backs Kevin Akpoguma and Calvin Bassey. He connected with a loop ball from inside their half, and slotted into the goal to let Nigerian goalkeeper Francis Uzoho know he still has room for improvement.
Efforts by the Super Eagles to re-equalize in the game proved abortive as the visitors resisted all attempts made by the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
The win was Guinea-Bissau first victory against the three-time African Champions. It also helped the Djurtus to take over the first position in their Group with seven points from three games.
