Fisayo Dele-Bashiru got the winning goal for Nigeria in the final four minutes of the second half, but  Eguavoen was not pleased with their opponents wasted time before the goal.

"I should think so. We have a time keeper also in the name of Thomas. Actually they wasted like fourteen, fifteen minutes out of the 45 minutes which is not so good," Eguavoen said, as per All Nigeria Socccer.
"They are a good side. You can see that they move the ball if they wanted to move, but now trying to bring such strategies, I don't think it's a good thing. They should just play normally.
"When we scored the late goal, they came out. Maybe they over-respected us.

"They thought probably if they come out initial stage they're going to get a lot of goals behind them. I don't know if that's the way they want to play."
