Nigeria crashed out of the 2025 FIFA U-20 World Cup after a 4-0 defeat to Argentina on Wednesday night.
Argentina scored twice in each half to claim victory in the game.
“It’s football, i’m part of it. I take the blame and responsibility. The day they win, they win, and as they lost today, I take responsibility,” Zubairu said in his post-match reaction.
Zubairu also claimed the early goals destablised his team.
“I think the early goal is part of what destabilised us. We conceded very early, and even the second goal came not too far from the first. That affected our approach,” added the coach.
