Greg Etafia has said Nigeria must give 120% if they hoped to get a result against South Africa in Cape Town on Wednesday.
Bafana are on a high after a 3-0 win in Sudan on Friday and will now fancy their chances against a Super Eagles team who were stunned 3-2 at home by Congo at the weekend.
Moroka Swallows of South Africa shot stopper Etafia has now said his native Nigeria must give their best against Bafana, if they hoped to win and get their AFCON 2015 qualifying campaign back on track.
“Bafana Bafana players were given confidence to express themselves, they are rebuilding and the fact that they don’t have mandate to qualify means they are not under pressure,” said Etafia.
“Eagles must be at their best, give 100%, even 120% to beat a very determined South Africa.
“Their danger man is (Sibusiso) Vilakaze, but they play as a team.”
