Rwanda coach, Serbian Milutin ‘Micho’ Sredrojevic, was full of joy and excitement after the Amavubi Stars held the Super Eagles to a goalless draw at the Stade Regionale in Kigali on Wednesday.
Sredrojevic, who was full of respect for the Eagles, said after the game that he still holds Nigeria in high esteem but was slightly surprised that the array of stars paraded by Nigeria could not get the three points at stake from his team.
Rwandan fans and journalists were also full of praises for their team, with one of them describing the Nigerian side as a sleeping giant when he poked a question at Eagles boss, Stephen Keshi. Keshi, however, promised to wake his ‘giants’ from sleep in subsequent games.
The fans in Kigali also took over major streets of the city after the encounter, describing the performance of their team as outstanding and well deserved.
Keshi, said he was not satisfied with the Eagles’ performance but was happy that he came away with a point in the encounter.
He said, “We did not come here for a draw but that is what we got, we have made some observations after the match and we will work on them as we prepare for subsequent games. I will not give excuses but I must say we did not have enough time with the foreign based players like we did in four weeks with the home guys.”
