CHAN: Why Senegal beat Nigeria – Chelle

Super Eagles Head Coach, Eric Chelle has suggested why Senegal defeated Nigeria 1-0 in their opening 2024 African Nations Championship, CHAN, Group D tie on Tuesday evening.

A second half goal from Christian Gomis gave Senegal the victory against Nigeria at the Amani Stadium in Tanzania.

Speaking at his post-match press conference, Chelle insisted that the Senegalese defeated his home-based Super Eagles players because they were more aggressive than his team during the encounter.

“In the second half, we gave the goal. This was a small mistake. But this is normal because we never got into this game. Maybe mentally, or maybe we were scared about something,” he added.
