Super Eagles wing-back Ola Aina has said he would love to take another penalty for Nigeria if given the opportunity after his miss against South Africa on Wednesday.
Aina spoke ahead of Nigeria’s AFCON final with Ivory Coast on Sunday.
Aina, who has been an important player in Jose Peseiro’s side at the tournament, missed his penalty kick during Nigeria’s AFCON semi-final win over South Africa.
Speaking with Oluwashina Okedeji of Planet Sports Football Africa, Aina said: “Football is a roller coaster. I could put my money on it, I could put my house on it, and I could put everything on it that I would’ve scored my penalty [against South Africa.
“Normally, I back myself because I am very good at them. Someone had to miss, unfortunately, and it was me.
“The boys and Nwabali saved me and all of us, and I am just grateful for that. You look forward, and if it comes to it again [against Ivory Coast], I will be taking another one, but that is just me.”
