They played the Bafana Bafana of South Africa to a 1-1 draw in Uyo last Friday, and the loss yesterday dealt a serious blow to their hopes of qualifying.
Nigerians were depending on the results of the last two games to improve their chances of qualifying for the next World Cup.
However, the ex-international, Mutiu Adepoju acknowledged his disappointment over the loss shortly after the game.
“It’s actually a poor outcome; the fact that we lost the match at home just makes it worse, and losing this one once more makes qualifying for the World Cup extremely difficult.
It’s challenging since we’ve dropped five of six points and because our first three games have ended in draws.
“It won’t be impossible for us, but things will not be easy for us right now. If we can win every other game
“But as it is now, I don’t think we should depend on ourselves, but to depend on other teams in the group.
“Because the two matches that we played, out of six points, which would have taken us up, we only got a point. It is not a good result,” Adepoju lamented.
He urged the team to restrategises and see if there are any solutions available to us before we are forced to turn to permutations.
