‘We have a lot of mistakes' - Nigeria U17 coach Manu Garba admits shortcomings after Angola win

Nigeria U17 coach Manu Garba has admitted that his players made several mistakes in their 1-0 win over Angola on Wednesday.

Olakunle Olusegun converted from the penalty spot in the 21st minute to give the Golden Eaglets a vital lead, which eventually sealed their second win at the 2019 Africa U-17 Cup of Nations in Tanzania, and a qualification ticket for the Fifa U-17 World Cup in Brazil later this year.

After the opening effort, the West Africans created several other chances in the match, with a total of eight shots on target, but failed to convert any of them.
