Watford have sent their commiseration message to the duo of William Troost-Ekong and Maduka Okoye, following Super Eagles exit from the Africa Cup of Nations.
Troost-Ekong captained Nigeria in their quest for a fourth AFCON title against the Carthage Eagles while Okoye was between the sticks.
Okoye was beaten in the second by Youssef Msakni’s long range shot as the lone goal separated both side.
