President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick, has charged the Nigeria Under 23s to defeat Senegal on Wednesday afternoon to be certain of qualifying for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
At the 2015 All Africa Games, both countries met in a Group B fixture and it ended honours even at Stade Municipal de Kintélé, Brazzaville, with left - back Mustapha Abdullahi scoring a last - minute equalizer to tie the game 1 - 1 .
“It is not going to be easy playing against the host nation that is high on confidence, having won all their three group phase matches, ” said Amaju Pinnick in a release published by the official website of the Nigerian Federation, thenff.com.
“Extra effort will be needed in all departments; hardwork and courage are critical virtues that the U-23 boys must take to heart on Wednesday.
“Our country is on a run of excellent results in international competitions. We are determined that run must continue and that is why the U-23 boys must defeat Senegal to assure of a place in Rio de Janeiro next year.”
Senegal are the only team left in the knockout round with a hundred percent record, while the Dream Team are undefeated at the tourney but drew their last two games with Egypt and Algeria.
