Head coach of Nigeria’s U-23 team, Samson Siasia, has praised his boys, after they drew 0-0 with Congo in Pointe Noire on Sunday.
The former Super Eagles striker, said they played like true heroes and have made him proud.
Siasia, speaking after the game, said the boys followed his instructions, although he lamented their inability to score one goal at least.
“Playing a match like this is always difficult, but then I knew our best tactics for this game was to go all out and attack, because if they scored a goal against us, we would be out of the race,” he said.
“My boys did what I told them, but then we missed a couple of clear chances that are unpardonable. However, we did the job and we are into the African U-23 finals.”
He also added that he would give the team some days break, before they return to Congo for the All Africa Games in September.
