It’s a learning process for us - Waldrum
Reacting to the outcome of the match, Waldrum who had earlier called the four-nation tournament a platform to prepare for the World Cup, stated that losing to Mexico was only going to help his side improve.
“It’s a learning process for us. It was an opportunity to try new things. New ideas and new tactics,” Waldrum said after the game.
“We started the game strongly though they dominated the last 20 minutes of the first half.
“It’s always disappointing when you concede late in any game. We will learn from this defeat and prepare for our next game."
For Nigeria, the one-week invitational tournament serves as a part of the Super Falcons' preparations for the 2023 Women's World Cup campaign in July.
