“We need a straight win in that match. Whatever the number of goals we score, it doesn’t matter, we want the three maximum points in that match.

“We have watched our opponents’ play, we are not bothered about their spying on us, we know their weak points.  We are stronger, we’ll have upper hand in the match and that will pay off when we meet.”

He added that, “We know the tough teams in this tournament but we are not afraid of them. We want to take a match at a time because victory comes from God.

“Our attackers and midfielders are young and agile. If one player does not score a goal another will score. There is cohesion in the team, they are not selfish.”

On her part, Flamingoes’ captain Victoria Aidelomon said: “We have committed our match against Colombia into God’s hands.

“We are preparing well for the match because our aim is to get to the finals of the competition and winning the competition will be great in my history as captain of the team.”

Chinwendu Ihezuo, the highest goal scorer in the competition, said the Flamingoes would remove pride and put their best into the game against Colombia.
