Super Eagles head coach Jose Peseiro hailed Argentina after La Albiceleste claimed their first World Cup title in 36 years on Sunday night.

Lionel Scaloni’s side defeated France 4-2 on penalties in a thrilling final contest at the Lusail Iconic Stadium.

The game ended in a 3-3 draw after 120 minutes of breathtaking football action.

“Congratulations Argentina on winning your third World Cup!

“It was an exciting game; what an incredible match! You deserve every minute of this title, well done!” Peseiro wrote on his Twitter handle.
