I don't always get the Idea behind still allowing players to play games that have no meaning to the tournament. Probably if the two teams or one team had a chance of progressing then that's when the game should go ahead but when both teams are eliminated from the tournament, don't we think it's a waste of resources to continue with the game. They're going to get low turnout of spectators and viewership which takes alot out of the budget to organized the match. If I were the players, I won't bother giving my best and I believe that's what the opponents did here as I don't believe the boys could play this well then lost both previous legs of the competition.

Congo still had a chance of qualifying because they had two points. If they had won Nigeria and any team between Sudan and Senegal had lost, the Congolese side would have progressed to the next round.

Poor selection affected our performance. Players like Ngenge and Mustapha Lawal shouldn't have been in the first two games. The introduction of players like Harcourt Ebenezer and the defensive partnership between Junior Nduka and Stephen Manyo gave Nigeria its first win in the competition.
