Aigbogun: Super Eagles had 'great experience' with defeat against Mexico

The West Africans struggled to impress at the Los Angeles Coliseum and conceded two goals in each half of Sunday's match

Nigerian coach Paul Aigbogun has rated Mexico’s 4-0 win over the Super Eagles as a ‘great experience’ for the home-based players.

The former Flying Eagles boss assisted Gernot Rohr on the bench at the Los Angeles Coliseum on Sunday following the absence of Joseph Yobo and NFF technical director Austin Eguavoen.

Nigeria turned to their league players to execute the friendly match due to the unavailability of their foreign-based stars.
