Nigeria’s Super Eagles are set to face Rwanda’s Amavubi in a crucial World Cup qualifier match today at the Amahoro Stadium in Kigali. Captain William Troost-Ekong has confidently responded to Rwanda captain Djihad Bizimana’s claims that his team can stop Nigeria’s attackers.
The Super Eagles are yet to secure a win in their CAF qualification Group C matches, earning just three points from four games. A victory against Rwanda is essential to keep their World Cup qualification hopes alive.
Troost-Ekong expressed his confidence in the Super Eagles’ attackers, stating that Rwanda’s words won’t translate to action on the field. He acknowledged that the match will be challenging, but the team is ready for the task.
Rwanda currently sits in second place with seven points, while Nigeria remains in fifth position with four points from five matches. A win for the Super Eagles would significantly boost their chances of advancing in the qualifiers.
I know Rwanda, like Nigeria, is in a desperate situation, needing a win today and eager to prove themselves to their coach. They may have the upper hand, but we believe we can perform better in today’s match.”
Every team in Africa is tough to face away from home.”
We respect Rwanda and have prepared for them. I’m glad to hear they believe they can handle our team. If that’s how they’re preparing, we’ll see how it plays out today
