Super Eagles of Nigeria coach, Gernot Rohr has reacted to
his team's semi-final game at 2019 Africa Cup of Nations which they lost to 2 -
1 to Algeria last night.
Manchester City star, Riyad Mahrez scored a stunning
free-kick for the Desert Foxes in the stoppage time to take his country to the
final clash of the tournament.
Speaking on the match, Rohr, 66 said: "It was a big
fight until the last minute, it was a wonderful match, I think my players
wanted it to go to extra-time thinking Algeria were more tired," Rohr said
post-match, as per Reuters.
"We scored an own goal, unlucky, but we have come back
every time in this tournament and this time we came back on a penalty.
"But a wonderful free-kick from a football genius made
the difference."
Nigeria will face Tunisia in the third-place play-off on
Wednesday evening, while Algeria will face Senegal in the final on Friday
night.
