We were wasteful – Rohr reacts to win over Tanzania

Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr, has admitted that the team was wasteful, despite defeating Tanzania 1-0 in their final game of the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying series.
Kelechi Iheanacho fired in a brilliant winner with 12 minutes left, after the hosts missed several opportunities to score earlier.

Rohr says the victory was important for confidence, especially with the qualifiers for the 2018 World Cup starting soon.


“I’m happy I won my first match,” began Rohr.

“We have a good chance of qualifying for the World Cup.

“A team that failed to qualify for the AFCON need confidence and the confidence is coming back gradually.

“We played well and any team who created 12, 14 chances in a match, that tells you it’s a good team.


“We were wasteful but we will work on our finishing.”
