Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi is impressed with the display of his the Super Eagles against South Africa in Wednesday\u2019s 2015 Africa Nations Cup qualifier in Cape Town, supersport.com <\/em>reports.<\/p>\n

The Eagles drew 0-0 against the Bafana Bafana following last Saturday\u2019s 2-3 loss to Congo in Calabar and Keshi spoke about his satisfaction after the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe game was not bad. I thought it was good tactical play and good play by Bafana. (there was) a bit of improvement from my players \u2026 a lot better than what we did on Saturday,\u201d Keshi said at the post-match press conference.<\/p>\n

Nigeria were a pale shadow of the side that swaggered to the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations title in South Africa but Keshi says it would have been asking for too much to expect his wards to hit similar heights.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have not been together and it\u2019s taking time to gel. I\u2019m not satisfied, but I liked what I saw. he said.<\/p>\n

Nigeria currently sit in third place in Group A with a solitary point from two matches.<\/p>\n

Congo occupies the group\u2019s summit with six points from two games while South Africa stays in second with four points.<\/p>\n

Sudan are bottom of the pile with no points from two games.<\/p>\n

The top two teams in each group qualify for the tournament in Morocco next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
