The former Arsenal and Everton star shared similar thoughts with the gaffer on how the travel affected the team.

“He [Jose Peseiro] has already said the travel was a lot for us, after the game [against Lesotho] we had to fly four hours then another three-hour coach down here which was not easy but as a player, we should not use that as an excuse,” Iwobi said.

“We are professional enough and we have lots of quality in the side.”

Meanwhile, Walter Musona and Kelechi Iheanacho scored for their respective teams in the Group C matchday 2 encounter.

Nigeria’s next World Cup qualifier is against South Africa on June 3, 2024.
