Bassey picked a knock in the keenly contested encounter.

There were concerns the centre-back could miss Nigeria’s 2026 FIFA World Cup playoffs.

The 25-Year-Old has, however, said he has no fitness issue.

“This game we knew it was gonna be a fight. Beto, Barry, they’re fighters, they make life difficult for you so we were prepared. I got a little knock but I’m fine,” Bassey told SportyTV after the match.

The Super Eagles will take on Panthers of Gabon in the semi-final of the playoffs on Thursday.
