“We didn’t do enough to win this match and we were taught a life lesson today. So, we just have to pick ourselves up, find positives and build from there.” He said after the game.”

The defeat put an end to Nigeria’s dream of winning the tournament for the fourth time in her history.

The three-time African champion will now turn their attention to the FIFA World Cup qualifying match against Ghana in May.
