The Super Eagles' confidence has risen as a result of Cape Verde's win.

Following the Super Eagles' 2-1 away win over the Blue Sharks of Cape Verde, football fans have voiced optimism in their team's chances to qualify for the Qatar 2022 World Cup.

According to reports, Nigeria defeated Cape Verde 2-1 in their qualifying match on Tuesday in Mindelo, thanks to a 75th-minute own goal by the island nation.

The crucial away victory propelled the Super Eagles to the top of Group C in the African campaign for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.

According to NAN, the win has helped the Eagles maintain their group leadership as they prepare for a home-and-away match against the Central African Republic next month.

Despite the absence of certain important players, a cross-section of football fans who talked to NAN in separate interviews said the victory demonstrated the squad's strength and depth.

They showed faith in the team and stated that nothing could prevent the Super Eagles from qualifying for the 2018 World Cup.

Former National Sports Commission (NSC) Director-General Gbenga Elegbeleye stated the victory was a strong declaration of determination to qualify for the event.

Away victories are not always easy to come by, and Cape Verde is no pushover in football; they have a very good team with all of its players located in Europe.

According to Elegbeleye, the three points prove that the Super Eagles are invincible in their quest to qualify for the World Cup.

The Eagles demonstrated to Africa, and indeed the world, that they were a team to be reckoned with, according to Tajudeen Akinyemi, Chairman of the Ondo State Football Association (ODSFA).

An emphatic and satisfying win. It was wonderful.

It has demonstrated that the Super Eagles can field three teams in a row for any African competition.

It's a good sign. Many Nigerians, like myself, were skeptical of the first team players' ability when they were not selected to play against the Blue Sharks of Cape Verde.

Akinyemi stated that the Super Eagles are a squad to be reckoned with since they have a wealth of skill and experience.

Sunshine Stars Football Club of Akure's former president showed confidence in the team's potential to qualify for the Nigeria Professional Football League.

Nigeria will have an easier time qualifying for the Qatar 2022 Olympic Games. We should not, however, underestimate any squad because African football is unpredictable.

Let us cross our fingers that the Eagles beat Central Africa back-to-back in October. He predicts that the Eagles will triumph.

Despite playing without the majority of their regulars, the Super Eagles were able to defeat their opponents in their own backyard and finish first in their group.

It's admirable that they were able to keep their composure and play well despite being down by a goal early in the game, according to Bamigboye.

This has been done in order to explain the inclusion of the new players in the Super Eagles squad. They are still young and have the potential to mature into the powerful Eagles that they are.

Keep in mind that the Cape Verde team is not to be taken lightly. They have a youthful team as well.

They were up against a more seasoned Super Eagles club, which has demonstrated a decent level of leadership in African football.

So, by all accounts, the Super Eagles were superior to the Blue Sharks.

We needed to enter the game with a clear aim and focus, according to Bamigboye.

Mukhtar Mohammed, Chairman of the FCT Football Association, said: "It's fantastic news and a huge away triumph for the Super Eagles."

It has improved the team's standing and given them more confidence.

The route to any qualification is bumpy and difficult, therefore you need your results to be favorable... So much for good fortune... Whatever the weather may be... Even if the game itself isn't all that appealing...

We must also maintain vigilance and refrain from becoming complacent. He stated, "We are expanding the pool of talent that can represent Nigeria."

The result was very promising, according to Bartholomew David, current Chairman of the FCT Football Coaches Association.

The team and handlers must maintain their concentration. David stated that subsequent victories will provide us with the required qualification.
