Amuneke: Mali must fall Golden Eaglets’ Coach Emmanuel Amuneke (MON) believes his record as a national team coach would start on a winning note on Monday when Nigeria face Mali at the WAFU B Under-17 Tournament in Togo.

The eagerly anticipated match fixed for 2:30pm local time-3:30pm Nigerian time-at Stade Municipal would be Golden Eaglets’ first match at the tournament following last minute withdrawal of Niger which they would have met on Saturday.

”We are in good spirit ahead of our match against Mali on Monday and by the grace of God, we shall come on top,” Amuneke said after the team’s special service at their Blue Angel Hotel camp in Lome on Sunday. “We have actually asked for blessing from God and having done our own part, we are confident that God will help us to achieve victory,” he added.

Indeed, the Golden Eaglets   would go into this match knowing that the Malians would not give them a quarter after   their   rampaging predecessors   dispatched them   from the last CAN Under-17 Tournament in Morocco on a 4-0 aggregate score line .
