Daniel Ogunmodede, the Super Eagles stand-in coach, said on Thursday that the big focus of the Super Eagles players and officials ahead of Saturday’s African Nations Championship qualifying game against Ghana’s Black Galaxies is to attain victory, which will send Nigeria to the finals of the competition for the first time since 2018.
Both illustrious regional rivals battled to a scoreless stalemate in Accra on Sunday. The final qualifying fixture is delicately poised ahead of the decider at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo on Saturday.
“We are doing everything to stay focused by avoiding any distractions. Yes, we got a scoreless draw in the first leg away and now playing at home, but we are not in any way carried away. Our objective was to score an away goal in Accra, but that did not happen.
