We lack experience

[Shola Sholaz]

Seydou Keita believes Mali lost out due to inexperience.
.
Mali captain said the team lacked the experience neded to cope with Nigeria in their Africa Cup of Nations semifinal on Wednesday.
.
The former Barcelona midfielder said Mali failed collectively and that the relative youth of the team 'played a very important role' in the 4-1 defeat at Moses Mabhida Stadium.
.
Keita again failed to lead his national team to a tiel, despite another great chance to succeed.
.
It was his fourth semifinal experience with Mali and again he was on the losing end.
.
He was one of the many players to have said victory would've been extra-special because of the difficulties fans are enduring with Political instability and conflicts back home.
