8 minutes ago EMIOLA ESTHER

Super Eagles head coach Éric Chelle has reacted to his side’s 3-1 victory over Tanzania in their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matchday three encounter in Uyo on Friday night.

Goals from Alhassan Yusuf and Tolu Arokodare, who scored twice, secured maximum points for Nigeria against Miguel Gamondi’s Taifa Stars.

Tanzania’s only goal came through Alphonce Msanga.

Chelle acknowledged that despite the victory, there were areas of his team’s performance that needed improvement ahead of the return fixture in Zanzibar next Tuesday.

“There are a lot of good things, but there are some bad things. We are not perfect. We have a few days to correct everything,” he told reporters.

Nigeria currently occupies second position in Group L with six points from three matches.

The Djurtus of Guinea-Bissau top the standings with seven points from the same number of matches.

The West Africans will be up against Tanzania in a matchday four encounter at the Amaan Stadium, Zanzibar, next Tuesday.
