Super Eagles’ Technical Adviser Gernot Rohr has praised the Flying Eagles of Nigeria for defeating hard fighting host Niger Republic 1-0 to book their ticket for the finals of the FIFA U20 World Cup holding in Poland in April this year.
Rohr who has joined the team since Tuesday this week also hailed the fighting spirit of the players and the technical savvy of the team’s Chief Coach Paul Aigbogun who led the team to the all important victory yesterday.
“It was a very difficult game against a good team of Niger. It was a steong game between two teams that are very strong defensively..
The goal could only come from a set piece.
