Head Coach Moses Aduku has assured that despite the absence of top striker Janet Akekoromowei, Nigeria’s U20 girls, Falconets, will give it their all and overcome hosts Senegal in Saturday’s FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup third round, second leg encounter, Sportinglens.blogspot.com reports.
Akekoromowei
sustained an injury in the first half of last Saturday’s first leg in Abeokuta
and had to be taken off. She has been left out of the squad to travel to Dakar
on Wednesday morning.
“We will
overcome because we have reviewed the match and taken a lot of lessons on
board. I commend the girls for regrouping after a tough first half, adjusting
tactics and showing character in the second half. We could have won by more
goals because we created a number of opportunities in that second period.
“In
Senegal, we must defend resolutely and attack with purpose. We will play with
focus and determination.”
