 AFCON 2023: Super Eagles deserved victory over Angola – Peseiro


Super Eagles head coach, Jose Peseiro, has praised his players for another gritty display following the team’s 1-0 win over Angola in their quarter-final tie at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

Ademola Lookman fired home the winning goal for the Super Eagles five minutes before the break.

The Super Eagles wasted a number of chances in the game but were able to protect their lead.

Peseiro eulogised his players for working hard to achieve victory in the game.

ā€œWe played a good game, Angola showed they deserved to be here. We created two chances in the first half and hit the post in the first half.

ā€œI’m very happy with my players. We scored once goal and could have had one or two more.

ā€œMy team did well against a good team. We controlled the game and dominated our opponent.

ā€œIn the first half, we played well, closed down the spaces and didn’t give them room to operate.

ā€œAfter the break, Angola came out more and we had chances on the counter attack which we didn’t utilise.

ā€œI’m happy for my players, we deserved to win the game. I want to congratulate them on this victory.ā€
