āWe scored a good goal and after that we lost concentration, they got their equaliser and then they got their momentum,ā Finidi said during his interaction with media after the game.
āWe didnāt defend well the long kick from the goalkeeper and they got their first goal.
āWe had control of the game, but we didnāt defend well.
āIf you donāt take your chances and donāt defend well in a World Cup qualifier, you pay for it.
