Augustine Eguavon Expects 'Explosive Game' Against Ghana
Coach of Nigeria�s U-23 team Augustine Eguavon says he expects �an explosive� game against Ghana in the second leg of the All Africa Games qualifier on Saturday.
The Dream Team V currently hold a 3-1 advantage over the Black Meteors but Eguavon is fully aware of Ghana�s intent to overturn this deficit in Kumasi.
�I expect an explosive game against Ghana this weekend,� He told Hot FM.
�We have a lot of respect for the Ghana team and I am sure Ghanaians also have similar respect for us so i guess its going to be a very nice game.�
The ex Nigeria international also sought to debunk rumours of referee bias in the first encounter a fortnight ago in Benin City.
�Well, that is your opinion. We didn�t score an offside goal or any of that sought so I don�t know where this assertion is coming from.
�We are well prepared and focused on the tasked ahead to make sure we beat Ghana this time around since they denied us the ticket for last term�s All Africa Games,� he added.
The Nigerian team is expected in town on Thursday where they�ll immediately enplane to Kumasi where the match will be played at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
