Nigeria’s coach, Sunday Oliseh content with Super Eagles draw against Tanzania.
In an interview with SuperSport’s Collins Okinyo, Super Eagle’s coach
Sunday Oliseh says he is satisfied with the 0-0 draw against Tanzania in
African Nations Cup qualifier given that it was his debut appearance as coach
for the team. Former Super Eagles player

"I can describe the match as a game of two halves,
because we struggled in the first half but came back strongly in the second
half containing the Tanzanians who also played very well," he told
SuperSport.
With the absence of Nigeria’s goalkeeper, Enyeama, the Eagles
had to rely on a fine performance from another debutant Wolves goalkeeper Carl
Ikeme to keep the game goalless. The 29-year-old goalkeeper saved the day with some major saves to keep Nigeria in
the game. Oliseh describes his performance as ‘brilliant’-"I am very happy
with Ikeme's performance he was brilliant and he kept the Tanzanian strikers at
bay," he also added. "It was a very important debut for him and
thankfully for us he was A1."
Nigeria will
take on Niger on Wednesday in a friendly in Port Harcourt, Nigeria.
