The former KAA Gent star said the success of the team was the priority.

“I’m very happy but the most important thing is that we won,” Simon told reporters after the game.

“You can be man of the match and your team loses the game.”

The Super Eagles will take on the winner of the game between Cape Verde and South Africa in the semi-final in Bouake next Wednesday.
