Eagles Will Overcome Zambia – Maigari.

President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Aminu Maigari, said on Thursday that he has no doubt the Super Eagles will overpower the Zambian side when both teams clash at the Mbombela Stadium on Friday in the on-going 29th Africa Cup of Nations finals.

 Speaking at his Emnotweni Hotel in Nelspruit as Nigeria football’s top hierarchy countenances Friday’s clash of titans, Maigari insisted that nothing had been lost and won by any of the teams in the group and that it would be like a fresh start on Friday evening.

 “We have one goal for, one against and a point, just as each of the other three teams in the group. Yes, we would have loved to have the three points against Burkina Faso, moreso when we came so close to doing so, but football sometimes presents unexpected and dazzling conclusions.

 “Nigerians don’t cry over spilt milk; it is not our attitude. So we take it that everyone is equal and nothing definite has happened in the group. Everyone is starting on a fresh note and the Super Eagles are ready to make hay.”

 Nigeria confront the Africa champions days after a final-second blunder enabled the Etalons of Burkina Faso to earn a point in the two teams’ opening match of Group C.

The Chipolopolo were also a goal up and with one man advantage against the Walya Antelopes of Ethiopia before conceeding a second half equalizer at the same venue on Monday.
