The head coach of Golden Eaglets Nduka Ugbade said his team would have won against Burkina Faso if they had converted their chances.
The Eaglets lost 2-1 to Young Etalons in the quarter-finals of the U-17 Africa Cup of Nations in Algeria.
The defeat meant elimination from the tournament, and ending the World Cup ticket ambition for the five-time world champions who created lots of scoring opportunities.
Speaking to CAFonline, the 53-year-old tactician who captained the Eaglets side that won the maiden edition of the FIFA U-16 World Cup in 1985, believed his boys would have sealed a World Cup spot if they had been more clinical in front of goal.
