Zimbabwe head coach Kaitano Tembo has attributed his side's 2-0 Unity Cup semi-final defeat to Nigeria's Super Eagles to wasteful finishing and poor decision-making in key moments.

The Warriors were beaten at the Valley on Tuesday night by a Super Eagles side operating without several of their most prominent players — yet still proved too clinical for Zimbabwe to handle.

Tembo acknowledged that his team created genuine opportunities throughout the match but failed to capitalise, while Nigeria punished every chance that came their way.
