Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Sierra Leone head coach John Keister has expressed disappointment after watching his team succumb to a 2-1 defeat against Nigeria on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The Leone Stars rode their luck at times in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying tie but could have been two goals up as early as the 13th minute.<\/p>\n

In the end, it was the Super Eagles who rallied back from a goal down to earn maximum points in the Group A fixture.<\/p>\n

Keister admitted that his young side paid for their inexperience in the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were disappointed not to get something out of the game. We came here with a positive feeling. We felt we could go back home with a positive result,\u201d Keister told a post-match press conference on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a lot of young players in the team and it reflected in our performance. They took their eyes off the ball and allowed Victor Osimhen to score the second goal.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the end, the experience on both sides reflected in the final result. We could have another goal too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the players and their officials have departed Abuja for Conakry where they will take on Sao Tome and Principe on Monday.<\/p>\n
