Super Eagles coach, José Santos Peseiro, has praised his team for putting up a good fight against Sierra Leone in their 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier played in Monrovia, Liberia on Sunday.
The three-time African champions, Super Eagles, scored a late winner to earn a 3-2 victory and seal their spot in 2023 AFCON in Ivory Coast.
“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,” Peseiro said in his post match comment.
“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.”
