NGNigeria's Flamingos football team secured a 3-2 victory over Benin Republic in the first leg of their World Cup qualifier, but head coach Akeem Busari expressed concerns about defensive errors that led to two goals being conceded. Despite the win, Busari emphasized that the mistakes were part of the nature of football and acknowledged the need for improved organization. He defended his decision to keep defender Ene Esther Stephen on the field despite her errors, arguing that young players should be given time to recover from mistakes rather than being replaced immediately. Additionally, Busari criticized the team's inefficiency in front of goal, stating that missed scoring opportunities frustrated him more than the defensive lapses. The coach outlined plans for adjustments ahead of the second leg, including addressing psychological factors and improving passing accuracy.
