Despite failing to secure a win, Jan Urban praised his team’s display and resilience against a strong Nigerian side.

“The scenario from the previous matches repeated itself — we played, the opponent scored. But I wasn’t concerned because we played well. And we played well after the goal. It was a good match against a good team,” Urban was quoted as saying.
