AFCON 2023: Super Eagles better than their opponents, says Peseiro

Coach Peseiro

Super Eagles coach Jose Peseiro says his team were better than their opponents, Equatorial Guinea but were simply unlucky.

Peseiro made this known while reacting to Nigeria’s 1-1 draw against Equatorial Guinea at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cote d’Ivoire.

But beyond the slightly disappointing result, Peseiro said he is satisfied with the performance of his players.

“We hoped to win this match and we did everything to win.

He however expressed disappointment in his team’s inability to convert their chances at goal.

“I am not happy. I deserved to win, this draw doesn’t suit us.

“Our team created a lot of chances but we didn’t score.

“We hope that next time, even with fewer opportunities, we will score.

“We simply have to improve our finishing,” he said.
