And Gernot Rohr who was heavily criticised following loss in Lagos has promised Nigerians that his side will scoop all three points on Sunday.

He said via Complete Sports:

“We go there to win the game. We were the better team (on Thursday), but sometimes the better team do not win.

“They were a bit lucky to score against us, while we had a lot of chances to score. We lacked a little bit of efficiency.

“Despite the defeat, we did not deserve to lose this game. We must stay calm and not panic.

“We must give a big knock on the head of everybody, analyse the game and make some changes in the team.

“We have to find our winning spirit, a new motivation, because everyone is down.”
