Super Eagles Coach, Gernot Rohr has expressed satisfaction over Nigeria’s third place finish at the 2019 African Cup of Nations, AFCON tournament in Egypt.
Odion Ighalo’s early goal in the third minute gave Nigeria a 1-0 win over Tunisia in their third-place playoff yesterday Wednesday.
The forward, who is the tournament’s top scorer with five goals, was gifted an easy tap-in following a Tunisian defensive mix-up.
This was after Jamilu Collins’ cross from the left was poorly parried by goalkeeper Moez Ben Cherifa against the legs of defender Yassine Meriah.
Rohr told newsmen during a post-match conference that he was satisfied with the team’s performance, adding that he was very positive about the future.
On his part, Coach Alain Giresse of Tunisia said that he was proud of what his team achieved at this year’s AFCON, adding that Tunisia had lots of hope for the next AFCON and World Cup.Hig+��M��
