Super Eagles coach Jose Peseiro speaks on the team’s poor finishing and consistent lack of goals after the disappointing 1-1 draw with Equatorial Guinea.
The Super Eagles of Nigeria were held to a 1-1 draw by Equatorial Guinea in their, first match of the 2023 African Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast on Sunday.
Equatorial Guinea scored in the 37th minute but the Nigerian side replied immediately with a goal by Victor Oshimhen, the current African Footballer of the Year.
“Playing by 2 pm isn’t easy, so the temperature and humidity were not good but our players managed it very well. It wasn’t easy playing in these conditions. I am sad and the players are also sad but God gives and God takes. Next game, God could give us.” – said Jose Peseiro
The Super Eagles will take on the Host, the Elephants of Ivory Coast on Thursday January 18th at the Alassane Ouattara Stadium.
