Super Eagles head coach, Stephen Keshi has describe as unique the victory by the national football team against Atlas Lions of Morocco.
Keshi said he did not panic when the team was down 3-0 at the half, but only motivated them to play better in the second half.
He said, “It was our first game and we were four goals down and we came back in the second half and drew level 4-4 within 12 minutes. But this one, is something unique. ‘I salute the fighting spirit of my boys and their courage. It is a special game and a special result.’’
“I told them that in the second half I will want to see a different character, the type of character we brought against Bafana Bafana.
“So, they took on from there, and for now, we are not going home.
“There was one thing going for us, and we capitalised on it; we knew the Moroccans were good when they were with the ball, and poor when they were not with the ball.
“We began to use our strength to exploit the weakness of the Moroccans, and inflicted whatever damage we could inflict on them.
“That was how the match was won, ’’Keshi said.
