Yemi Tella (NGA), Nigeria coach
"We started the match very well and that made life a bit easier for us. The players were well prepared and followed the game-plan to the letter. I think my team is playing well - not just in this match but in general. Our football is good all round and effective. In the second half, we wanted to let them come at us, but they rarely left their own half of the pitch. We've qualified now but we'll still be looking to win our next match. We're here to win the title and with each victory we get a little closer."
