Former Super Eagles winger, Tijani Babangida has expressed disappointment with the Flying Eagles performance against Gambia in the 2023 U-20 Africa Cup of Nations.
Recall that Gambia sealed a 1-0 victory over the Flying Eagles to qualify for a first-ever youth Nations Cup final.
Adama Bojang scored the only goal of the game as the Gambians edged seven-time champions Nigeria on Monday.
Reacting to the team’s performance, Babangida in a chat with Completesports.com, stated that the Flying Eagles lack of focus cost the team a place in the final.
“I really feel so disappointed that the team failed to book a place in the final of the U-20 Africa Cup of Nations. It is even more sad that Nigeria lost to Gambia in the semi finals.
“Lack of concentration from the players gave Gambia that early lead and we never came back to the game. It’s a pity the team will now have to focus on the third-place match against Tunisia.”
