AFCON 2023: Super Eagles Deserved More Than Draw Against Against Equatorial Guinea — Peseiro

Super Eagles head coach, Jose Peseiro claimed that his side deserved more than just a point from their clash with Equatorial Guinea.

The three-time African champions were let down by their poor finishing in the game.

Napoli forward, Victor Osimhen salvaged a draw for the Super Eagles cancelling out Ivan Salvador’s opener.

Peseiro’s had other chances to win the game especially in the second half but failed to convert them.

The Portuguese who expressed disappointment with the result accepted that poor marksmanship cost his side’s victory in the game.

“I’m not happy with the result. I’m sad, my players are sad. We are all sad because we deserve to beat our opponent,” Peseiro said during his interaction with the media.

“It’s normal to miss chances in football, I hope next time, we create less chances and score more goals.

“We played well and pushed our opponent back. I just hope we can maintain this same attitude in our subsequent games.

“Today, the result was not good for us, but we played really well. If we play like this in subsequent games, then it will be difficult for any team to beat us.”
