We luv you, Leon…keep pushing! Round of 16 is next and we wish you loads of great luck to overcome that hurdle…we all make mistakes!

I think Leon Balogun is our best ball-playing defender currently. In fact, the mistake he made was because he tried to retain possession instead of clearing out of harm's way.

You have served Nigeria well Leon! We don't blame you at all. We have faith in you and your capacity to deliver. All the best in your next match

Leon, you’re quite brave for publicly owning up to your error that led to one of the goals against Madagascar. But that game is past now. Forget the critics. Focus on performing at your optimal level on Saturday. You have been and still are a top @NGSuperEagles defender. SALUT! https://t.co/yrItAkbx0r
