Benin Republic head coach, Gernot Rohr, has acknowledged that his team was unable to contain Ademola Lookman during their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Uyo on Saturday.

Lookman, the Atalanta winger, scored twice as the Super Eagles defeated the Cheetahs 3-0 in the opening match.

He skillfully dribbled past three defenders to score Nigeria’s first goal in stoppage time of the first half, and later headed in the third goal with eight minutes remaining.
