Argentina coach, Jorge Sampaoli has explained why his star studded side lost to the Super Eagles of Nigeria in Tuesday’s grade one friendly in Russia.

The high profile friendly ended 2-4 in favour of Nigeria.

The former Sevilla coach watched his side throw away a two-goal lead to lose 2-4 as Nigeria rallied back with a strong showing in the second half.

Addressing reporters after the game, Sampaoli faulted his team’s wastefulness in front of goal in the first half.

He said, “I do not think it’s hard to explain. We played in the first half well, in the second we tried to play more in attack.

“It happens with all the teams. Nigeria had many good moments, but we defended well, and I think that we just did not realize our moments.

“There were many passes which we couldn’t use.”

Not buying it, at least you did not play the Messi-less and sick Aguero card like the manner of some.

You lost cos your defence fell asleep lol .

The best team Won

Nobody beats a team that plays the way Super Eagles played yesterday.

Everything was in check, the cohesion was just perfect from players going upfront and defending as well. It was a Nigerian team I've always dreamt of.

It's an honorable loss for Argentina, it would have been more even with Messi in the team. I guess he would have scored one of the two goals. That's all.

Shut up, we flog you.

No Messi

Di maria

Dybala

Mascherano

Gomes

Aguero

Ever Banega

Insua

Can't believe we beat Argentina

Excuses

We were lucky. Our defence is terrible .He is right if they took all their chances we could have been 3-0 down in the first half.
They were lucky that Moses did not play
