Australia coach , Tony Vidmar, lamented the Joeys first half performance in their 6 - 0 loss to Nigeria on Thursday morning at the Fifa Under 17 World Cup.<br /><br />Australia conceded two goals in the space of three minutes before the intermission but had an opportunity to take the lead before they went behind.<br /><br />&ldquo;The disappointing thing is that we didn&rsquo;t play our game in the first half,&rdquo; Vidmar said.<br /><br />&ldquo;When we didn&rsquo;t have the ball, our pressing was not good enough and that&rsquo;s allowed Nigeria to have so much more space. Our lines became so much bigger, and that&rsquo;s what Nigeria thrived on.<br /><br />&ldquo;When we had the ball, we turned it over too easily. We said that if we had the ball for too long, they&rsquo;d run over us because they were much faster than us.&rdquo;<br /><br />Despite an improved performance in the second half, the Asian representative&rsquo;s defense was breached two times by Victor Osimhen, while Edidong Essien and Samuel Chukwueze scored in the closing minutes.<br /><br />Photo Credit : fifa.com<br />
