Responding to questions on Sunday, the Super Eagles coach said;
“If we repeat the performance of last Friday in the second leg, we will beat them 3-0. No team can take good luck all the time.”
“We scored two goals against Sierra Leone with less amount of pressure. Then we had about 50 percent of the opportunities we had today and beat them 2-0.”
Peseiro noted that the Super Eagles were unlucky to convert the chances they created in the last match.
He said, “First of all congratulations to Guinea-Bissau. We missed many goals, we could have been here for another hour and not score, sometimes it happens in football,” Peseiro told reporters at the post-match press conference.
“I’m not happy of course, I am sad like my team but they did the maximum. We created many, many clear opportunities but it was a bad day. If we played in the way we played today, we (are supposed to) beat Guinea-Bissau.
“Guinea-Bissau were lucky and very bad luck for us.”
