Tanzania FA Boss : We Deserved Victory Over Nigeria

The President of the Tanzania Football
Federation, Jamal Malinzi, believes the
Super Eagles were lucky to escape with a
draw on Saturday.
The Taifa Stars created several good
chances but were thwarted by excellent
goalkeeping from debuting Carl Ikeme in the
2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Dar
Es Salaam.
“Honestly, Tanzania deserved a better
result,” Malinzi told
completesportsnigeria.com in an exclusive
chat.
“We created more chances and had better
possession.”
The draw left Tanzania with just one point
from two matches following their 3-0 defeat
to Egypt earlier in the qualifying campaign.
However, Malinzi has not given up on
qualifying, urging the Super Eagles to halt
Egypt’s march to Gabon 2017.
“Please go on and beat Egypt in March
2016!” the Tanzania federation boss added,
while pinning his hopes on next year’s
fixtures.
“Difficult to say if we will qualify now.
Decider will be back-to-back games in March
2016.”
Nigeria will play Egypt twice in March, with
Tanzania and Chad also facing off back-to-
back.
