Contrary to popular expectations, Lesotho put up a strong defense against Nigeria in the World Cup qualifiers. They even scored first before eventually conceding an equaliser in a Group C matchday 1 encounter in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital.
Lesotho coach Leslie Notsi insists the shocking result was not a fluke as suggested by many, but a product of his team’s thorough preparation and unwavering self-belief.
Speaking after the game played at the Godswill Akpabio stadium in Uyo, Notsi emphasised the importance of approaching the match without fear or intimidation.
