The Super Eagles taught us great lesson, says Liberia’s Marcus Macauley

Captain of Liberia’s Lone Star, Marcus Macauley said his country will learn from their defeat to Nigeria as they look to wrap up their qualifying campaign against Central African Republic.

Liberia hope of qualifying for the next round of the FIFA World Cup qualifiers was mathematically over, no thanks to the 2-0 defeat they suffered in the hands of the Super Eagles on Saturday.

The Lone Stars had a good game, but two errors from goalkeeper proved costly as Nigeria scored twice from penalty to secure the maximum points.

Speaking ahead of their final game against Central African Republic, Macauley said:

“I must admit that Super Eagles have got fantastic players on their team,

 

“They have a really solid squad. The defeat is somehow discouraging, because our dream is over, but it’s a lesson for us.

 

“We lost to the Nigerian national team, a good side and I’m sure we will take the positives with us and improve on them.”

“We are still in a learning and rebuilding process just like our coach said earlier on. We are improving, though as I can say that so many positive things are happening to our team which we need to sustain,” he said.

Liberia can finish the campaign in third position, but only if they beat the Wild Beasts on Tuesday.
