Super Eagles coach Jose Peseiro has reacted to his team’s victory over Sierra Leone in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers on Sunday.
According to the Portuguese, the Nigerian side deserved to beat Sierra Leone in their backyard.
Napoli front man Victor Osimhen netted twice in the first half to put the visitors ahead and while the home side came from the break stronger, replying all two goals, a late strike from Kelechi Iheanacho ensured that Nigeria left Monrovia with all three points and confirmed their spot at the tournament.
Addressing the press after the game, the Portuguese said, ”Very hard match my players never gave up, they fought till the final whistle in the first half we created up to eight opportunities but only scored two goals.
“We deserved to win but I think it was a difficult and very good match but our team is the best in the group.
“We did a fantastic job against a good team. I’m happy with my players, congratulations to them.”
