We deserved much more - Jose Peseiro
Nigeria's Coach, Jose Peseiro has disclosed that his team deserved better than the result they got against Guinea Bissau in the African Cup of Nations AFCON qualifiers on Friday, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
The Super Eagles lost to the Wild Dogs at the Moshood Abiola Stadium, Abuja by a goal to nil courtesy of Mama Balde's 30th minute goal.
Following the loss, the team's gaffer has stated that his team deserved much more as they played better.
“I think we played very well in the first 30 minutes but didn’t score,” Peseiro said in his post-match press conference.
He attributed the loss to the West African country for the first time ever to bad luck as they could have scored five to six goals.
“It showed that our team is better than Guinea-Bissau. I can say bad luck was part of the reason we didn’t win.
“Some times the best teams can lose games this way, so everything went bad for us.
“We deserved much more because we created chances and pushed the opponent back and could have scored five, six goals it happens in football.“
Meanwhile, the Portuguese tactician believes his squad with the performance put up on Abuja can beat their opponents in the return leg.
“If we put up same performance like we did today we can beat them 3-0 at their place because one team can’t always have good luck all the time.“
The win puts Guinea Bissau on top of group B with seven points as against Nigeria that has six points.
The second leg of the tie comes up on Monday.
