Ghanaians have established their dissatisfaction over Nigeria coach Jose Peseiro's claims that the Black Stars qualified to the 2022 World Cup by accident.

Thomas Partey's crucial away goal in Abuja saw Ghana make a return to the Mundial after edging the Super Eagles in the play-offs.

Nigeria's Portuguese gaffer believes the Super Eagles had a better team and should have qualified ahead of Ghana.

“I have a team with players who play in England, Italy, France, Spain, but unfortunately they didn’t beat Ghana to go to the World Cup," he said as quoted by Pulse Nigeria.

“But I think it was an accident, I think Nigeria is better than Ghana," he added.

Peseiro took over as head coach of Nigeria from Augustine Eguaveon following the Super Eagles disappointing display against Ghana.

Funny enough I don't even remember the last time Ghana lost against Nigeria. I remember how Essien's squad humiliated them In the 2008 cup of nations in Accra.

Is Central Africa Republic's national football team the most underrated national team in Africa?
