The head coach of the Super Eagles, Jose Peseiro, has warned his players not to get carried away following a 1-0 win over Cote d\u2019Ivoire in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Nigeria beat the host nation, thanks to a William Troost-Ekong penalty in the second half.<\/p>\n

The victory takes the three-time African champions to four points, joint-top with Equatorial Guinea.<\/p>\n

Peseiro is delighted to have put in place \u201ca strategy that worked\u201d against the Ivorians, but is already looking forward to the last group game against Guinea-Bissau.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the next match we have to control the game, try to be less timid and not give possession to the opponent.<\/p>\n

\u201cI told my players not to savour the victory. We have four days left before the next match. From day one I told them: \u2018you must win the AFCON\u2019,\u201d Peseiro said.<\/p>\n
