In an X post, Oliseh singled out Fredrick as the best performer for the Super Eagles in the tension-soaked encounter.
He said, “I personally found Benjamin Fredrick to be the most influential player yesterday versus Gabon for SuperEagles. Always well positioned, pacy, decisive and played simply. Now let’s celebrate today. But from tomorrow Congo needs to be our next victim.”
In a humorous tone, Oliseh added, “Boy it feels great in the morning when Naija do well sha! Abi I lie? Have a nice day everyone.”
