Head coach of the Super Eagles, Gernot Rohr, has admitted his team lost to Algeria, because their opponents \u201cexecuted their pressing superbly and found good solutions in the midfield\u201d.<\/p>\n

Nigeria failed to qualify for the final of this year\u2019s Africa Cup of Nations, after losing to the North Africans on Sunday.<\/p>\n

A William Troost-Ekong own goal gave the Desert Foxes the lead, before Odion Ighalo equalized from the spot after the break.<\/p>\n

With the game looking to head into extra time, Riyad Mahrez stepped up and smashed a free-kick past Daniel Akpeyi.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the media after the match, Rohr said: \u201cThey executed their pressing superbly and found good situations in the midfield. We could not find a solution and we could not locate our wingers.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy team is still young and they will still improve tactically in the future and they will do it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are sad we lost, the players played for extra time but we lost in the last minute to a good goal.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were better in the first half but we conceded an own goal and lost in the last minute. We are sad but congratulations to the winners.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
