Stephen Keshi Admits Shortcomings In Second Half

Speaking at a press conference after the&nbsp; goalless draw with Iran, Stephen Keshi has admitted that the Super Eagles took their feet off the pedal in the second half. <br /><br />The absence of a genuine play-maker in the Nigeria squad meant the team could not break down a well organized Iranian defense.<br /><br />&ldquo;We played very well in the first half. The forwards were very active and they had a couple of chances to score, though we couldn&rsquo;t put them away. We lost our shape in the second half.<br /><br />&ldquo;I felt we could have won the game but we were lacking a bit of inspiration on the pitch. <br /><br />All credit to Iran. They stuck to their gameplan and were able to put it into practice from start to finish,&rdquo;&nbsp; Keshi said.<br /><br />Nigeria returned to Campinas on Monday evening and will resume training for the game with Bosnia on Tuesday evening.<br /><br /><br /><span style=\"\" class=\"notranslate\"></span>
