Taiwo Awoniyi hopes to put up a better performance in Nigeria’s second Group D game against Sudan at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.
Awoniyi was picked to lead the attack in Nigeria ‘s first game against Egypt ahead of Umar Sadiq and Peter Olayinka.
The forward was however criticised by many for his performance in the encounter which the Super Eagles won 1-0 courtesy of Kelechi Iheanacho’s fine effort on the half hour mark.
