'Nigeria loss to Mexico still had an advantage' – Obuh backs NPFL players to learn from exposure

The home-based players were hammered in Los Angeles by El Tri who are preparing for the 2021 Concacaf Gold Cup which starts on Saturday

Former Nigeria U17 and U20 coach John Obuh has applauded the exposure given to the Nigeria Professional Football League players in Sunday’s international friendly match against Mexico.

Although Gernot Rohr's outfit suffered a 4-0 defeat to the North Americans, Obuh stressed how the encounter will boost the experience of the home-based players.

Hector Herrera's double and lone goals from Rogerio Funes Mori and Jonathan dos Santos secured Mexico’s dominance over the three-time African nations at the Los Angeles Coliseum, in a match they dominated from start to finish.
