Nigeria's Super Eagles interim coach Austin Eguavoen has explained the reason the team failed to score in the first half, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Despite dominating the game from the blast of the whistle, the 3-time African champions failed to find the back of the net until the second half.

While speaking after the game, Eguavoen said they were too slow in the first half but they got the needed goal in the second half when they were faster.

" I expected us to score more goals. Overall, we are happy to maintain our top spot. I was feeling bad, but we kept pushing and progressing.

"Emotions were high. Libya defended in numbers and we are happy to win.

“We were a bit slow in the first half, but the second half was good; we were faster and we got the goal,” Eguavoen said.
