President of the Nigerian Football Federation Amaju Pinnick has summoned Gernot Rohr and his technical crew to a meeting on Saturday (today) after the Super Eagles poor performance against Sierra Leone at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin City, Edo State on Friday.

This was revealed in a statement which stated that Pinnick also addressed the Eagles after the game and charged the players to put the disappointment behind them and be ready to give their all and redeem their image in Freetown on Tuesday.

The Eagles had on Friday squandered a four-goal advantage to delay their qualification for the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations as The Leone Stars made a spirited fightback to tie the game 4-4.

The Eagles were home and dry by half time having raced to a 4-1 lead and had the lion’s share of the play but capitulated in the second half that saw the visitors make a comeback scoring three goals in a 14-minute spell.

Nigeria however still leads Group L with seven points from three games while Sierra Leone are third with two points from three matches played.
