Nigeria U20 women’s coach Christopher Danjuma has blamed his side’s poor start for the quarter-final loss against Spain in Concarneau on Thursday.
The Falconets started on a back foot in their pursuit of a semi-final place, with Patricia Guijarro and Aiana Bonmati’s goals handing the Europeans a first-half advantage at the Stade Guy-Piriou.
However, Peace Efih’s 57th minute strike was not enough to help the west Africans escape defeat and the gaffer has lamented his girls' poor composure and confidence.
“It was a tough game, especially when you were not planning to be two goals down at half time,” Danjuma told media.
