Coach of Nigeria’s U20 national team Paul Aigbogun has rued his side’s kicks from the penalty mark debacle after another shootout session defeat condemned Nigeria to finish outside the medal zone at the just concluded CAF Africa U20 cup of nations in Niger where Mali emerged as Africa champions at the U20 level.Â
Aigbogun speaking in a chat with www.brila.neton the Flying Eagles outing at the tournament lamented the circumstances of been knocked out of the running for the title initially having been beaten on penalties by Mali before another shootout session in the Third place game against South Africa meant the Amajitas finished above  Nigeria.
Aigbogun stressed that picking the world cup ticket however is the most important objective and that nothing could have been done to salvage the team’s penalty chances because penalties are down to sheer luck.
