Olympic Eagles coach Austin Eguaveon said that he is losing no sleep over their 1-0 loss to their Tanzanian counterparts in the first leg of the Olympic qualifiers last Sunday.
Eguaveon’s team succumbed with only eight minutes to full time. But he argued that their hosts were only lucky adding that the return leg in Benin will be the last bus stop of the Tanzanian that sent Cameroon packing.
“We lost despite being the better team and it will be a different story when we host the return match.
“There is no way they will survive us when they come for the second leg. We will definitely pay them back in their own coin.
“ I promise Nigerians that my boys will score five goals,” boasted the former Eagles defender.
However, Tanzania coach Jamhuri Kihwelu remains hopeful of claiming another high profile victim in a competition. He said that he would come to Nigeria with the aim of playing to win.
