AFCON 2023: 3 tactical mistakes Peseiro made in Super Eagles draw against Equatorial Guinea

In the Super Eagles' draw against Equatorial Guinea in AFCON 2023, Jose Peseiro made several tactical mistakes that impacted the team's performance. We look at 3 tactical errors made by the Super Eagles boss.

Peseiro's decision to deploy Moses Simon on the right-wing role instead of his more familiar left-wing position disrupted the team's attacking dynamics. 

This tactical change affected Simon's comfort and effectiveness on the pitch, leading to a lack of cohesion and creativity in the team's attacking play

The absence of Calvin Bassey from the starting lineup meant that the team lacked a defender proficient at progressing the ball from defense. 

Bassey's omission hindered the team's ability to build play from the back and maintain possession effectively, impacting their overall performance.

Peseiro's delay in making substitutions further compounded the team's struggle during the match. Timely and strategic substitutions could have injected fresh energy and ideas into the team, potentially altering the course of the game. 

The reluctance to make proactive changes may have limited the team's ability to adapt and respond effectively to Equatorial Guinea's stubborn defensive display.
