Chikatara okays Eagles’ win v Egypt

 

Super Eagles striker, Chisom Chikatara has said the side will defeat the Pharaohs of Egypt in the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualifying match on Tuesday at the Borg El-Arab Stadium in Alexandria.
Eagles were forced to 1-1 draw by the North Africans in the double header first leg clash on Friday at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium in Kaduna.
Chikatara said the characteristic doggedness of typical Nigerian side will see the three-time African champions soar above the Pharaohs right there at their backyard in Alexandria.
“Of course, there is 100% hope of Eagles winning today’s (Tuesday) Afcon qualifying match against the Pharaohs in Alexandria, Egypt.
“Nobody gave Eagles chance against the Egyptians in the first leg encounter on Friday at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium in Kaduna.
“However, Eagles surprised their doubters with the match opener and were on the verge of claiming the entire three points before the last minute mishaps that saw the Egyptians with late equaliser.
“Eagles chance at progressing with a resounding victory is quite bright if not brighter than in the first leg in Kaduna.
“Right now we are facing the wall and a typical Nigerian side are at their very best in such difficult position.
“I strongly believe with determination to leave nothing to chance Eagles will shock the Pharaohs in Alexandria.
“The encounter is certain to be tough for both sides but more on the Egyptians who will be under intense pressure playing before their teeming supporters.
“The situation will greatly be in Nigeria’s advantage to apply the killer punch on the Egyptians,” said the Abia Warriors marksman to supersport.com.
Egypt still lead Group G on four points with the withdrawal of Chad from the Afcon campaign with Nigeria trailing on two points and Tanzania on one point with a game to spare for the sides.
Only the group winners are guaranteed an automatic spot for the 2017 Afcon final in West African state, Gabon.
