Esperance Striker Emem Eduok Ready For Big Game Against Al Ahly

Esperance striker Emem Eduok, 21,  has been previewing one of the biggest games he’ll play in his career, the CAF Confederation Cup tie against holders Al Ahly on Sunday.

Unlike their opponents, the Tunisian League ended around four weeks ago, meaning the Esperance squad will be match rusty heading into the match at the Third Army Stadium (Agroud, Suez).

But Eduok doesn’t want to hear that and has erased thoughts that The Blood and Gold are in Egypt to play for a draw.

“We have been in Cairo since Thursday, it’s a big game. I think it is possible for us to win in front of Al Ahly’s vociferous fans,” says Emem Eduok to allnigeriasoccer.com.

“Football is about taking your chances when they come. We started training a week ago so I think we can level up.

“We are not thinking of a draw because they will come for a return leg in Tunis.

“No, I have not discussed about this game with Peter Ebimobowei, we will see on the pitch.”

The Nigeria B international has scored 9 goals in all competitions since he was unveiled by Esperance in the winter transfer market, including a brace against Hearts of Oak in the Confederation Cup play - offs.
