Super
Eagles defender Godfrey Oboabona has dismissed fears Ivory Coast could
pull out a big finish to deny Nigeria the single ticket to the Africa
Nations Championship in South Africa next year.
The Eagles, who beat the Elephants 4-1
in the first leg CHAN qualifier in Kaduna on July 6, will face the
Ivorians in the second leg in Abidjan on July 27.
Nigeria need to avoid defeat by more
than three goals to qualify for the tournament and Oboabona, who played
a key role in the Kaduna victory, says the Eagles are not worried that
the Elephants could stop Nigeria from playing at the tournament for the
first time.
“With God on our side we are going there
for victory,” the versatile Sunshine Stars player told our
correspondent on the telephone during the week.
The 22-year-old, who has been picked for
next month’s match against South Africa in the Nelson Mandela
Challenge, praised his teammates for the emphatic win in Kaduna,
calling for focus ahead of the Abidjan encounter .
