Super Eagles coach Rohr explains why he is delighted with result against Lesotho
Published: April 02, 2021Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has revealed that he is delighted with the outcome of the result against Lesotho because his side kept a clean sheet.
The national team defeated the Crocodiles 3-0 in their final 2021 Africa Cup of Nation qualifying match thanks to goals from Victor Osimhen, Oghenekaro Etebo and Paul Onuachu.
The three-time African champions did not concede a goal in their last three AFCON qualifiers as they also kept clean sheets in difficult away matches with Sierra Leone and the Republic of Benin.
"The result of our last match against Lesotho was a good result, to win 3-0 is always a good result," Rohr said.
"Without conceding a goal we wanted to become more solid after our two games in November and now we could do two clean sheets which is very interesting for the stability of the team, for the balance of the team.
"Scoring three goals also without any set pieces is also very interesting."
