Lazio midfielder Fisayo Dele-Bashiru has given his opinion on the Super Eagles 0-0 draw against Rwanda in their second game in the AFCON qualifiers played in Kigali earlier today.
Fisayo started today’s game after coming on as a substitute in Saturday’s 3-0 win over Benin Republic, but unlike over the weekend they failed to find a breakthrough despite creating the most chances, and having as many as nine shots on target.
Explaining the new Super Eagles number 10 blamed it on their failure to make the numerous chances that came their way count, but said it’s better that they picked a point and didn’t concede.
“I think we played well and of course it’s going to be difficult playing them away because they have their fans cheering them on and of course there are all kinds of circumstances that we have to consider”, he said in an interview with Pius Idoko made available to OwnGoalNigeria.com editorial team.
” With everything considered we played really well and had a lot of chances that we couldn’t convert and that is why I think the game ended 0-0.
” We can take the positive from it. We didn’t concede and we gained a point in the AFCON qualifiers. You know it’s not the result we wanted but it’s not a bad result.
“Yeah we spoke a little bit about it after the game. I am not sure why it didn’t go in. It’s just sometimes you are lucky, sometimes you are not and today was just one of those days and anything we threw at them it just didn’t go in so like I said it’s important that we didn’t lose the game and we didn’t concede any goal”.
