The Super Eagles captain William Ekong has revealed that they are not making the mistake of thinking too much about the showdown with South Africa’s Bafana Bafana in Bloemfontein on Tuesday, but are rather focused on their clash with Rwanda’s Amavubi in Uyo on Saturday.
“You take one step at a time. We have Rwanda to play on Saturday, and there are three points there. After that is concluded, then we begin to think of South Africa. There are three points also in there when we play in Bloemfontein, but that is a few days after Rwanda. Rwanda comes first,” Ekong said on Thursday.
The Super Eagles have not been impressive in the campaign, especially in the first four matches of which she won none, but Ekong says the squad have committed to taking all points in the remaining games, believing that will be good enough to send Nigeria to the 48-nation finals in North America next summer.
“We will do our very best to go all out and win the remaining four matches. Hopefully, that will be good enough to take us there,” he assured.
