The News Agency of Nigeria reports that a Riyad Mahrez’s goal from a free-kick at the edge of the box, with seconds left to play, condemned Nigeria to a 2-1 defeat and steered Algeria to their first AFCON Final match in 29 years.
“Unfortunately, we conceded a goal in the last minute. I think the players wanted to go to extra-time believing that perhaps Algeria will get tired and we could win the match in extra time “When we found ourselves in a difficult situation, we always reacted and we did that also today coming back through a penalty and playing a better second half.“In our last game, we won in the last minute against South Africa and today we lost. That’s football, ” he said.
“My boys had an amazing first half. So, we deserved at that time to score a goal and I think we could have scored even more goals.“I think we played too deep and didn’t apply enough pressure on our opponents due to fatigue on my players and the quality of course of our opponents.
