Nigeria’s national team head coach, Gernot Rohr has admitted that the Eagles were lucky to secure a win against Poland in Friday’s international friendly, while assuring Nigerians that the result of the game will have little effect on the Eagles performance at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.
Rohr said: “We were lucky to have won this game. Poland created at least four good opportunities, and we scored a penalty. We were a well-organized team, we had problems in our own penalty box a number of times and our opponents were better in the air, but our young goalkeeper, who made his first start did well. We won the match without our captain Mikel Obi. It was the first time we won a game in his absence.”
