AFCON 2019: Madagascar coach speaks on Super Eagles clash after 1-0 win over Burundi
Madagascar coach, Nicolas Dupuis, has expressed his delight after his team recorded their first ever win at the Africa Cup of Nations on Thursday.
The island nation defeated Burundi 1-0, courtesy of a 76th-minute free-kick from Marco Ilaimaharita in their second Group B game. After seeing off the “tough” challenge from Burundi, Dupuis said he is pleased with the team’s hard-fought victory as they edge closer to securing a spot in the last-16 round.
“I am so happy because of this victory. It was our first in the history of the Afcon and we worked hard for it.“But we can be proud of our efforts, we can be proud of what we achieved but the work is not yet over. We still have Nigeria to think about,” Dupuis said after the game. Madagascar are second in Group B with four points after two matches, two points behind leaders Nigeria.
