Kenneth Omeruo has voiced his disappointment after the Super Eagles suffered a friendly defeat to Mali.
Nigeria lost 2-0 against their West African counterparts at the Grand Stade de Marrakech on Tuesday night, with the Malians claiming victory through goals from El Bilal Toure and Kamorou Dounmbia.
The win marked Mali's first win over the Super Eagles in nearly 50 years, and Omeruo revealed that the team's profligacy in front of goal was to blame.

"Overall, I think we played a good game,” Omeruo told NFF TV.
“I think it was a good outing for us, fantastic spirit. The players that were here gave their best. We just couldn’t score in the game.”
The Super Eagles will now turn their focus to the June 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, where they are set to face South Africa and Benin Republic.
