3-0 Loss To Spain Was Not A Fair Result – Keshi

Super Eagles head coach, Stephen Keshi believes the 0-3 loss to Spain was not a fair result after his side were booted out of the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup. A brace from Jordi Alba and one from Fernando Torres ended Nigeria’s chance of progressing to the semi-finals after Uruguay crushed Tahiti 8-0 in the other Group B game. The ‘Big Boss’in a post-match chat noted that the Eagles missed the absence of some keys players. “You see when you lose your best defender in a game like this, it is usually tough. “To an extent the absence of some of my players affected our play but we will keep learning from this experience,’ he added, even as he blamed anxiety for the catalogue of misses the team suffered. “In the first half we did very well, the passes and team play was there but after the second goal we lost it”, he noted.
