Fans of the Super Eagles who trooped the 60.000 capacity stadium showered their frustrations towards the team. For safety, all the players and technical staff of the team spent hundreds of minutes taking refuge. The Super Eagles did not risk leaving the stadium. Especially since the fans were furious and ransacked everything in their path. "The Nigerian players and technical staff were forced to wait in the dressing room for over an hour.
