The head coach of the Super Eagles, Jose Peseiro, has said he deserved to beat Sierra Leone in their 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Sunday.
A brace from Victor Osimhen and a late goal by Kelechi Iheanacho confirmed Nigeria’s spot at the tournament which kicks off in January.
The three-time African champions left Monrovia, Liberia with a 3-2 win.
”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,” Peseiro said after the game.
