The national women’s senior team played a 1-1 draw a  forthnight ago in Abuja, with the second leg going down this weekend.

Danjuma disclosed that he was working on the team’s psyche to put them in the right frame of mind ahead of the clash after the loss of Gracious Akujobi.

“For us, it’s a must win, we are condemned to win and I believe with what we’ve done in training, we will come victorious,” he said.

“After the first leg, we’ve been working on the mindset of the players, to get them fully prepared for the game.

“And we hope they will take their chances and make a name for themselves and become stars like Asisat Oshoala who seized the opportunity given to her.”
