Super Eagles coach, Jose Peseiro has expressed disappointment over the 4-0 defeat to Portugal in a friendly match on Thursday night.
The Portuguese, who noted the need for his boys to improve said it was also emotional leading a team against that of his fatherland.
He said, “We have to improve and improve a lot. It was a first half below what we expected, the second was much better.
“Portugal was better, they are superior, they have a great selection, but the scoreline is heavy and exaggerated because we could have made it 2-1 and then we suffered 0-3 and 0-4. We cannot concede four goals and some of them the way they were.
“It was a great emotion to be in this stadium where I spent great moments, facing Portugal, listening to the anthem… I am sad about the result, but being here and facing Portugal was a pleasure.”
Three times African champions lost the game in Lisbon few days after their home based fellow lost 2-0 to Costa Rica.
Peseiro has now lost four matches since his appointment as Super Eagles coach, while winning his two competitive matches in 2023 AFCON qualifying series
