“We gave them the recording of our new national anthem, only for them to play the wrong one at the beginning of the match. We protested strongly, and insisted that the Super Eagles would not start the second half until the new national anthem of Nigeria was played.”
The Benin FA authorities eventually played the new national anthem of Nigeria before the commencement of the second half of the match.
