Reacting after the game, Aduku, in a chat with FIFA.com, expressed displeasure with the performance of the players against Spain.
However, he noted that Nigeria will qualify for the knockout stages of the competition in Poland.
“We did not come to the party today; we did not play.
But all the same, we have two more games to play; we will get it right. Of course, we are going to go through [to the knockout rounds].
