Eagles will learn from Serbia defeat -Musa
Following a 2-0 defeat to Serbia in a pre-World Cup international friendly, Ahmed Musa believes the Super Eagles will learn a great deal from the loss and improve on their game.
The CSKA Moscow forward was in play throughout the game as Eagles looked out of sorts in every area of the pitch from the first minute.
A brace by Aleksandar Mitrovic in the 67th and 80th minutes respectively gave the Serbians the deserved victory at the Hive Stadium in London on Tuesday night.
Although regular Nigeria players like captain John Mikel Obi, Kelechi Iheanacho, Leon Balogun and a few others were not available for the encounter.

Musa, in a chat with Complete Sports, admitted the team did not perform at their best but is certain that the defeat will serve as a lesson for them ahead of their next games.
“Yes, we lost and it wasn’t a good game but we will learn from the loss and improve on them in subsequent games,” Musa said.
Nigeria had defeated Poland 1-0 last week Friday thanks to a finely converted penalty by Victor Moses in Wroclaw, which kicked off their build-up to the World Cup.
The team has more friendlies to play before the mundial, including clashes against Congo DR and the Three Lions of England.
