Nigeria on Saturday were beaten by South Africa by two goals to zero in
Uyo in a qualifier for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations.
It was Gernot Rohr's first loss in charge of the Super Eagles.
Speaking after the match, Rohr said his boys played well in the first half but were overpowered by the experience of the South Africans in the second half.
According to him, Nigeria had difficulties in finishing the match because “we made so many efforts in the first half while some of our players were tired in the second half.”
“We tried to open the wings and bring power to the team but unfortunately it did not yield fruits.
“I have trust in these boys because they played well in the first half but they could not score. We win and lose together.
“I think the next game with Cameroon will be very interesting. It will be better, much, much better,” he said.
