Hope Akpan praise Mikel over win

Nigeria came all out on Wednesday night to trash Sudan 3-1 in line with the AFCON qualifier of Group A at home soil Abuja.

The reigning African champions put their battle for a place at Morrocco come 2015 back on track as they finally got a win in their fourth game.

It took the intervention of birthday boy Ahmed Musa to set the ball rolling with an opener. The CSK Moscow man sealed the victory with a beautiful display after a mistake from the Sudanese defence.

Chelsea star John Obi Mikel was a top form as he was well involve in the 1^st goal.

Hope Akpan who was introduced to the starting line-up by Coach Stephen Keshi was overjoyed with the victory and was even happier with John Obi Mikel.
