Manager José Peseiro Of The Super Eagles Speaks About The Victory Against Guinea-bissau

José Peseiro, the head coach of the Super Eagles, believes his team was due more from their two 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches against the Djurtus of Guinea-Bissau.

On Friday of last week, the three-time African champions were defeated at the Moshood Abiola Stadium in Abuja.

Nevertheless, Peseiro’s substitutions exacted revenge, defeating the Djurtus 1-0 on Monday evening at the September 24 Stadium in Bissau.

Around the half-hour mark, Nantes of France winger Moses Simon converted the go-ahead penalty after right-back Bright Osayi-Samuel was taken down inside the area.

Peseiro said that if it weren’t for the Super Eagles’ carelessness in front of goal, they may have scored more goals in both games.

“We performed better on Friday than we did today, and we might have won 6-1 in Abuja and 5-0 here in Bissau today. While it happens in football, Peseiro said in his post-game interview, “sometimes you play better than your opponents but the outcome will suggest differently.

“At home, we had a greater advantage than today, but we couldn’t take use of our scoring opportunities.”

On Sunday, June 11, 2023, the Super Eagles will go for Sierra Leone to play their next encounter.
