Super Eagles coach, Jose Peseiro, and his team fell to a fourth consecutive defeat after a 1-0 loss to 118th-ranked Guinea-Bissau on Friday evening at the Moshood Abiola Stadium in Abuja.
While the Portuguese gaffer had earlier claimed that his past defeats were because they played top national team sides like World Cup semifinalist Portugal, Friday’s loss was to a supposed African football minnow, which has caused huge criticism from football enthusiasts.
Nigeria won their first two games in the qualifiers, but the matchday 3 loss means Nigeria dropped to second place just as Guinea-Bissau climbed to the top of Group A with seven points.
