The Super Eagles head coach, Jose Peseiro, claimed on Sunday’s qualification for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations that his team deserved to defeat Sierra Leone.
Victor Osimhen’s two goals and a late strike from Kelechi Iheanacho guaranteed Nigeria’s participation in the tournament, which begins in January.
With a 3-2 victory, the three-time African champions left Monrovia, Liberia.
”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.
