David who also played in the game, emphasised that the Olympic Eagles started the game on a good note and that it was the sustained pressure that fetched the spot kick they got that led to the opening goal.

“We started the game on a bright note in the first half and put pressure on them which resulted in the goal we scored,” David told the NFF Tv.”In the second half we tried to maintain the same tempo but their penalty kick decision. Well, it was the referee’s decision.
“We will go back home and prepare very well with the resolve to record a win that will take us to the next round.
“We are extremely confident that we will get the job done in Ibadan because we do not have any other choice. We want to win for Nigerians.”
