Jose Peseiro, the coach of the Super Eagles, attributed their 1-1 draw against Equatorial Guinea at the Africa Cup of Nations to bad luck.
Despite feeling that his team outperformed their opponents, Peseiro expressed satisfaction with his players’ overall performance but expressed disappointment in their inability to convert scoring opportunities.
The Super Eagles will face the hosts, Côte d’Ivoire, in their upcoming match, which is crucial for their prospects in the tournament. This match will take place at the Stade Olympique Alassane Ouattara in Ebimpe.
The Super Eagles have a strong history in the AFCON, having won the tournament three times and reached the semi-finals in 14 of their last 17 participations.
