Daddy Ajala – Simon: opened scoring against Swaziland

Swaziland’s national football team Coach, Harris Bulunga, said on Tuesday that Super Eagles’ Coach, Sunday Oliseh’s choice of players upset his game plan in a World Cup qualifying match against Nigeria.

Bulunga made the remark after the Super Eagles beat Swaziland 2-0 in the match played at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt.

Moses Simon scored Nigeria`s first goal in the 51st minute while Defender, Efe Ambrose, nodded in the second goal in the 84th minute.

According to Bulunga, we expected Oliseh to field Mikel Obi. We did not see him and it was a surprise to us.

“ Sunday Oliseh surprised us with his tactics and choice of players. The Nigerian midfield was generally slow in the first leg in Swaziland.

“ In today`s match, the Nigerian midfield was more mobile and fluid and they created more chances in the match’’, he said.

The Swazi coach said the Eagles midfield was more coordinated in the game `today.’

He also tipped the Eagles to go places in the World Cup qualifying matches.

Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh, said the Swazi`s did not come out to attack.

“ We had to make changes during the break to open them and score’’, he said.

He  confessed that  Swaziland made his star studded team work very hard to get the qualification slot for the third and final round of the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying series.

“For a fact, Swaziland’s FIFA ranking is unfair to them. They played with their hearts over the two legs and made things pretty difficult for us,” said Oliseh  after the match.
