Nigeria's National U-23 coach Augustine Eguavoen has written of the Black Meteors of Ghana for the qualifying game against the flying Eagles of Nigeria to hold on Sunday in Kumasi, Ghana.
Nigeria won the first Leg AAG qualifiers 3-1 in Benin City on June 25. Eguavoen said his side would be playing for victory.
The former Super Eagles defender told Ghanaian radio, Hot FM, told Ghana to forget about the All Africa Games in Maputo, Mozambique in September.
"Ghana stopped us from featuring in the last All Africa Games in Algiers in 2007, this is our time to ensure they suffer a similar fate. They should just forget about going to Maputo.
"They played a wonderful game and we respect them but only one of us will have to qualify. We'll go there to protect our advantage and possibly beat them on their soil.
"We know the implications of the away goal they have but that will count for little by the time the game is over," Eguavoen said.
Preparation should be the keyword. Writing Ghana off my jeopardise their preparations. If Ghana was defeated at home, Eguavoen should remember that they are going for away match, where Ghanian team will enjoy more supports.
