Stand-in coaches Stanley Eguma and Ben Iroha were left fuming after the Olympic team lost 1-0 to Lagos-based academy Westerlo in a tune-up game on Wednesday.

A combination of bad offside tactics by Kingsley Udoh and Festus Austin plus goalkeeper Dele Ajiboye’s mis-kick allowed substitute Aremu Hafiz to nip in and score after 77 minutes at the Liberty Stadium Ibadan.

Eguma, standing in as head coach in the absence of Austin Eguavoen, tore into the players after the game. “This is totally unacceptable. It is unheard of that an academy side beat a national team,” Eguma lashed out.

At the other end, all efforts by the strike-force of Osas Okoro, Gbolahan Salami, Sunday Nwadialu and Ganiu Oseni was well contained by the defence of Westerlo in the second hal

“If tomorrow you are dropped for a foreign-based player you will all begin to complain that you were not given a chance,” he said.
