Super Eagles Coach Gernot Rohr has admitted that his team lost to a better side in the semifinals of the 2019 African Cup of Nations, AFCON in Egypt.
Riyad Mahrez’s goal from a free-kick with few seconds left to play, condemned Nigeria to a 2-1 defeat and steered Algeria to their first AFCON Final match in twenty nine years.
Rohr told newsmen during a post-match interview that it was a game of two halves, adding however that Algeria were the better side at the end of the day.
Algerian Coach, Djamel Belmadi on his part said his side had a tough game against a tough opponent, adding that it had to take the quality of Mahrez to decide the result of the match.
Nigeria will now take on Tunisia in the third place match on Wednesday, while Algeria take on Senegal in Friday’s final.��o�2����
