Gernot Rohr, coach of Benin has insisted that Super Eagles were fortunate to get a draw against his team.
Mohamed Tijani gave the Cheetahs the lead but Super Eagles leveled up the game through Victor Osimhen.
” It was a fair result”.
” But we were unlucky, because we had the better chances and organization to win the game”.
” Nigeria is not a team that is easy to beat, but if we had taken the chances we had with scores at 1-0, maybe the result would have been different”.
Benin will have to secure a positive result against Libya in Tripoli next week and hope Nigeria beat Rwanda in Uyo , so they can secure their passage to the biennial competition.
