Former Black
Stars defender
John Painstil
has hailed
coach Stephen
Keshi for the
tactical
changes he made in the second half
which saw the Super Eagles defeat the
Walya Ibex of Ethiopia 2-1 in Addis
Ababa in the first leg of the World Cup
qualifier.
Speaking as a guest analyst on
SuperSport, the former Fulham defender
praised the Eagles for showing character
despite going one goal down.
“I predicted a 1-0 victory for Nigeria but
they ended up winning 2-1. Good one
for Nigeria, coming from a goal down to
win 2-1. They showed character and the
changes made by the coach were also
good, especially in the midfield because
it prevented the Ethiopians from
penetrating,” he said.
Ahead of the return leg in Calabar,
Painstil went on to state that the game is
not over.
“I think the game is not over yet because
we still have the return leg in Nigeria,
which will decide who finally goes
through,” he said. Ghana host Egypt
