Super Eagles coach, Jose Peseiro says his team deserved to win the match against the Nzalang Nacional of Equatorial Guinea, but that they were unlucky.
The Eagles played out a 1-1 draw against Equatorial Guinea despite creating several chances and missing goals opportunities.
Speaking at a post-press conference, Peseiro said he and his team had hoped to win the match as they did everything to win.
He said the Eagles were better than their opponents, but were simply unlucky, saying he was not happy with the result.
He said: “We hoped to win this match and we did everything to win. Our team was better than that of Equatorial Guinea but we lacked luck.
“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.
