New Super Eagles Coach, Jose Peseiro began his appointment with the team on a losing note after the there-time Africa Champions lost 2-1 to El Tri of Mexico in a friendly match played in Dallas USA
The match kicked off 1am Sunday morning in Nigeria.
In what was the first match of Coach José Peseiro as Head Coach of the Super Eagles the team which failed to qualify for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, lost against CONCACAF ‘s perennial champions Mexico in an entertaining game that ended 2-1 at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas on Saturday night.
Being the first time they were coming together for any session since the disappointment of 2022 FIFA World Cup ticket miss, the three–time African champions were projected to be sitting ducks for the Mexicans to roast in the State of Texas a jurisdiction that shares a border with Mexico and where Mexico’s lingua franca, Spanish is taught in schools as a second language.
The El Tri, dainty, cohesive, coherent and egged on by over 52,000 roaring spectators in the largest covered arena in the world, bossed the opening minutes with their crisp passes, awesome positional play and nonchalant telepathy. In this pulsating period, they were able to shoot ahead after 13 minutes when Santiago Gimenez found himself all alone with goalkeeper Francis Uzoho and steered home despite Uzoho’s valiant efforts to keep the ball away.
