In a post-match interview, Domenica acknowledged the challenge posed by the Nigerian side, calling them a “tough opponent” with “very fast players.”
“We knew that Nigeria were going to be a tough opponent, they have very fast players. We came in prepared, but it didn’t work. But that’s football, and now we have to focus on the game against New Zealand,” Domenica said.
Despite their preparation, Ecuador was unable to match Nigeria’s speed and resilience on the field.
