But Babangida stated that the Super Eagles’ fighting spirit and their ability to pick up whenever they fall gives him joy.
He said: “Well, it is an opening game and you can see that we scored a goal, of course, we missed a lot as well. But the most important thing is this team has created a lot of chances because in football when you play and you don’t create a chance, that means the game is not good.

“So we are expecting them all to do more and better in every game they play again.”
