Leslie Notsi, the head coach of Lesotho, believes that his team’s daring was a major factor in Thursday’s draw with hosts Nigeria.

The star-studded opposition held the Likuena to a 1-1 draw at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo.

Lesotho was defeated by the Super Eagles in their prior four encounters.

Despite the fact that the host team squandered several scoring opportunities, the Southern Africans managed to hold off the Super Eagles during the game.

Notsi claimed that his guys’ perseverance paid off during the match.

“We showed them no respect. Notsi remarked during the news conference following the game, “We said no, ‘they are the same human beings as us, let’s go there for enjoyment.”

However, the enjoyment we’re referring to isn’t only going out and killing time. However, they should have self-belief and express themselves in their areas of strength.

“We observed the video clips, we tracked the team, and we identified opportunities.”

Next Tuesday at the Moses Mahbida Stadium, Lesotho will host the Benin Republic Squirrels.
