Super Eagles manager Jose Peseiro says he did not like the result of the team in their 3-2 friendly win over Mozambique on Monday afternoon in Portugal.
Nigeria went behind early in the game but responded back with goals from Terem Moffi, Frank Onyeka and Moses Simon before the Mambas added their second goal after the break.
Peseiro stated that the team could have scored as much as eight goals but sighted poor finishing as the reason for not converting their chances.
“I didn’t like the second half because we commanded it, but you must put more concentration and the finishing was poor,” Peseiro said after the match.
“Our team are better than this team and yet we let in two goals.
“We played better than this result because we created 10, 14 chances, many opportunities
“I liked the match against Saudi Arabia, but today, I don’t like it. Today, we need to score five, six, seven, eight goals.”
