We won’t underrate Guinea Bissau – Eagles

Victor Osimhen and Samuel Chukwueze, two forwards for the Super Eagles, have emphasized that their team will not take Guinea Bissau lightly when they play each other in the last Group A match of the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast, according to PUNCH Sports Extra.

In their third Group A match of the AFCON, Nigeria takes on Guinea-Bissau on Monday at the Stade Félix Houphouët Boigny in Abidjan.

Jose Peseiro’s team showed resiliency and tenacity by defeating the Ivory Coast in their second group game on Thursday, following a dull 1-1 draw in their initial match against Equatorial Guinea on Sunday.

In front of 49,517 home fans at the Stade Alassane Ouattara, Osimhen emerged as the game’s most outstanding player as the Eagles defeated the Elephants 1-0.

The crucial moment came in the 55th minute when William Troost-Ekong skillfully scored a penalty awarded to the Napoli striker to give his team the lead.

An ecstatic Osimhen, who was named Man of the Match, emphasized the importance of defeating the formidable host nation.

“It’s a fantastic win; we anticipated playing a formidable Ivory Coast team,” he remarked.

“This match was a significant test for us, and we are thrilled to have overcome it,” Osimhen continued, acknowledging the significance of the challenge presented by Ivory Coast.

Assuring a uniform strategy in future games, the 24-year-old highlighted embracing the same mindset exhibited against the Elephants.

We missed a lot of opportunities to score in the first game. We kept the same mindset today (Thursday), and we hope that everyone is happy about our triumph. We’re going to maintain this attitude for the duration of the tournament,” he promised.

Osimhen stressed the importance of not underestimating their opponent as they prepared for their upcoming match against the Guineans, who had 0 points in the group.

“We aim for a strong performance against Guinea-Bissau,” he declared. We won’t undervalue any team, given what they’ve done to qualify, and they will surely approach the game with determination.

Chukwueze feels that the Eagles have demonstrated to everyone that they are serious about adding to their three continental titles as they get ready for their third and final Group A encounter.

We engaged in heart-related play. “We proved we are prepared to compete for the AFCON title in our match against Ivory Coast,” he stated.

“Despite the complexity of this group, the last game is currently the most crucial one.

“Guinea-Bissau is a good country, but there are no tiny countries in the AFCON. We have faced them twice in the qualifying round, with one defeat.

“In order to win the group and guarantee our spot in the next round, we must win the final game.”
