Lack Of Bite In Attack Worries Nigeria Coach

In his post-match comments, Nigeria U17 coach Bala Nikyu admitted that his side lacked bite in attack during Tuesday&rsquo;s Fifa U-17 Women&rsquo;s World Cup match with England&rsquo;s Lionesses. <br /><br />Despite having 32 attempts, the attack led by Rasheedat Ajibade and Mercy Omokwo got cold feet when it mattered most and failed to score for the second game in a row. <br /><br />&ldquo;We performed well, but in football dominating the game and winning individual accolades don&rsquo;t count. What matters is to score and to win. I think we did well in attack, &rdquo; Nikyu told fifa.com.<br /><br />&ldquo;We played a defensive game against Brazil and we lost because we made a few mistakes that we&rsquo;ve sorted out now. <br /><br />&ldquo;We were more adventurous today but there are still a few things we need to iron out before we take on Korea DPR. &rdquo;<br /><br />The Flamingoes destiny is still in their own hands, nonetheless, with a 2-0 win over North Korea on Saturday guaranteeing them a quarterfinal spot for the fourth straight tournament.<br /><br />Ifeanyi Emmanuel <br /><br />Photo Credit : thenff.com<br />
