Commenting on the win, the coach of the Nigerian side said his players displayed commitment to win the game even when it is clear that they have no worries regarding their qualification for the forthcoming competition in Cote D’Ivoire.

He said, “My players showed commitment, I pushed them to do well. Normally when you play against a team that is not strong, everybody relax,” the Portuguese stated during his interaction with the media after the game.

“In this game, they didn’t relax, they put up a spectacle from the first minute to the last they were fighting. They played a good game, we won 6-0 which was good.”
