U23 AFCON: Siasia laments acute defensive headache

Samson Siasia has admitted his team has serious defensive concerns after another lackluster 2nd half performance cost them 2 points in the second round group match against Egypt at the 2015 Africa U-23 Cup of Nations.

The Dream Team VI took a 2-0 lead, thanks to Oghenekaro Etebo’s calm and composure to slot home from the spot on two occasions.

However, Egypt who had come into the game with their fate in their hands; following their 1-1 draw against Algeria, were quick to turn the game on its head with a 47th minute breather and eventual leveler in the 54th.
Speaking after the game, Siasia admitted the Dream Team VI had defensive frailties which must be corrected before the Algeria game or face a major meltdown.
