Cameroon coach Antonio Conceicao says his side's triumph over the Super Eagles 'will go down in history.

The Indomitable Lions defeated Nigeria 1-0 at the Wiener Neustadt Stadium last weekend courtesy of Zambo Anguissa's lone effort in the 37th minute of the game.

Cameroon's victory over the three-time African kings was sweet revenge for their 2019 AFCON defeat in Egypt two years ago.

This is also their first win over the Eagles since their win in the final of the continental competition in 2000 as reported by Guardian newspaper quoting Camfoot.

But in spite of his side's performance in their last meeting a couple of days back, Conceicao admits that his players must step up their game as they host the AFCON championshi[p next year. He said:

“This victory facilitates our work. That is to say that we are on a good path. It is always much easier to work on victories than on more negative results.

“It will go down in history, but the most important thing is to see the behavior of my players both individually and collectively.

“We took notes; we saw positive things. Logically we need time to improve. We are not yet perfect, but I am very satisfied with the attitude and professionalism of my players.”
