I just want to say it was a difficult game because Rwanda is a good side, I know the coach
Super Eagles Coach, Eric Chelle, said the team still needs improvement despite the 2-0 victory over the Amavubi of Rwanda on Friday in Kigali.
The encounter was a matchday 5 fixture of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
The Malian said at the post match conference that he was happy with the performance of his players against a tough Rwandan side.
He expressed delight at the win but stressed the need for the team to improve ahead of their next game on Tuesday in Uyo against bottom-placed Zimbabwe.
Mr Chelle said, “I just want to say it was a difficult game because Rwanda is a good side, I know the coach. He is a good coach. We made a great game too. I am so happy and proud of my players, my guys and the Nigerian people.’’
He said that the team worked a lot in the last one week sourcing information for his players with lots of video sessions after two training practices.
