The hosts raced into an early lead through Nkoto Masoabi’s 11th minute strike before the Super Eagles rallied back through goals from Alex Iwobi, Samuel Chukuweze and Victor Osimhen who netted a brace.

 

Rohr however praised the Crocodiles for their resolute performance against the Eagles.

 

“I want to thank Lesotho people for their hospitality. We know it will be difficult to play here [Maseru], Lesotho gave us a lot of troubles,” Rohr told a news conference.

 

“We are happy with the win. It put us in a good position to qualify for the competition.”
