Nigeria coach, Stephen Keshi is impressed with the display of his charges against South Africa in Wednesday’s 2015 Africa Nations Cup (Afcon) qualifier in Cape Town.
The Super Eagles drew 0-0 against the Bafana Bafana following last Saturday’s 2-3 loss to Congo in Calabar and Keshi spoke about his satisfaction after the game.
“The game was not bad. I thought it was good tactical play and good play by Bafana. (there was) a bit of improvement from my players … a lot better than what we did on Saturday,” Keshi said at the post-match press conference.
Nigeria were a pale shadow of the side that swaggered to the 2013 Afcon title in South Africa but Keshi says it would have been asking for too much to expect his wards to hit similar heights.
"We have not been together and it’s taking time to gel. I’m not satisfied, but I liked what I saw. he said.
Nigeria currently sits in third place in Group A of 2015 Afcon qualifying with a solitary point from two matches.
Congo occupies the group’s summit with six points from two games while South Africa stays in second with four points.
Sudan are bottom of the pile with no points from two games.
