How Yobo, Iwobi, Troost-Ekong reacted to Super Eagles defeat to Algeria

Super Eagles assistant coach, Joseph Yobo and members of the team, including Alex Iwobi and William Troost-Ekong, have reacted to their defeat against Algeria.

The three-time African champions fell to a 1-0 defeat to the reigning African champions, Algeria in an international friendly held in Austria last Friday.

A goal by Ramy Bensebaini, who forced in a rebound past goalkeeper Maduka Okoye, with just six minutes on the clock, was enough for the win.

In an Instagram post after the gane, Yobo, who recently joined the Nigeria team as a member of the coaching crew of Gernot Rohr, said the team would keep improving.
