Nwabali equals Ogedegbe’s 44-year record

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali equalled a 44-year record after keeping another clean sheet in Nigeria’s 1-0 quarter-finals win over Angola at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2023 in Ivory Coast.

The Super Eagles beat the Palancas Negras on Friday, February 2, to progress to the semi-finals of the continental football tournament.

After keeping another clean sheet against the Angolans, the 27-year-old became the first Super Eagles goalkeeper to keep four consecutive clean sheets in a major tourney in 44 years, surpassing Alloy Agu’s three games in a row in 1990.
