“Nigeria dominated the first half, while the Gabonese came out stronger in the second half, and they scored the equalizing goal to take the game to extra time.”
“But it was surprising for me that the players got fired up, and they got three more goals, making it four goals. It was a very good performance, and the reactions from the players were very good as well.”
