Former Nigerian manager, Adegboye Onigbinde has said the Super Eagles were lucky to have escaped defeat in the hands of the Stallions of Burkina Faso.
.
The Eagles opened their 2013 Africa Cup of Nation account with an uninspiring 1-1 draw against Burkina Faso at the Mbombela Stadium, Nelspruit on Monday.
.
Emmanuel Emenike scored the opener for Nigeria in the 23rd minute while Burkinabe workaholic, Alain Traore cancelled the lead in added time of the encounter.
.
'' As a Nigerian I would have wished we won but the game ended in a draw. I'm not happy we played a draw but the draw didn't start today (Monday). We were lucky we escaped with a draw ''.
Yes, Onigbinde is right. We manage to get a draw. That's sad!
