Super Eagles head coach Gernot Rohr has admitted that his side were lucky after getting a 0-1 win over Poland in a pre-World Cup friendly on Friday.

Victor Moses scored a penalty in the second half of the game played at the Municipal Stadium in Wroclaw, gave the three-time African champions a morale-boosting victory against the Poles.

However, Rohr also has admitted the team still has a lot to learn ahead of the soccer competition billed for June in Russia.

According to the German, beating two teams in the top 10 in the Fifa ranking does not mean they have arrived.

He also praised the Polish side who he said missed a lot opportunities in the course of the game.

“We were lucky to have won this game against a very solid Polish side,” Rohr said after the game.

“They created some big opportunities to score and were dangerous from set pieces that we found difficult to cope with but I praise my team for their victory.”

In other words he said, “This team is a young team but also a team of leaders.

“If we stay humble and continue to work hard to improve our play we have huge potentials, but beating 2 FIFA top 10 teams in friendlies doesn’t mean we are now World Cup favourites.”

The Super Eagles will fly to England where they battle Serbia in another friendly clash on Tuesday.
