Libya frustrated us, one-goal victory a relief – S’Eagles Coach Eguavoen
The Super Eagles head coach Augustine Eguavoen had reacted to the one-goal win the Nigerian team recorded against the Mediterranean Knights of Libya in the 2025 AFCON qualifiers Friday evening in Uyo.
He described it as a huge relief.
Eguavoen, in a post-match briefing at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo, said he expected his players to have scored more goals.
The Super Eagles played a goalless draw with the Libyan side in the first 45 minutes and until Dele Bashiru came to their rescue in the 87 minutes in the second half.
The Super Eagles coach said the Libyan tactics robbed his team of many goals, as they played defensive throughout the first half of the match.
He said, “Emotions were high, and when the goal came, it was a huge relief. Actually, we should have scored more goals but the tactics that they deployed was compact as they defended in numbers when the ball was in their area.
“We were a bit slow in the first-half, but the boys picked up in the second half and ball circulation became faster as instructed. The last 25 minutes was better.”
