Jose Peseiro has praised the Super Eagles players for showing character despite losing Mexico in an international friendly game in Dallas, USA.

Peseiro took charge of his first game as Eagles coach but could not prevent his side from losing 2-1.

Speaking in his post-match press conference, Peseiro praised his players for their impressive display, especially in the second half.  

I am not happy that we lost but I’m happy with the performance of my players because they showed character, especially after what Mexico did in the first half. I think in the second half there was an improvement.

The Eagles will be in action in another friendly on the 2nd of June when they will face Ecuador in New Jersey.
