Nigeria coach José Peseiro says the Super Eagles are aiming for victory against Cameroon in their Africa Cup of Nations round-of-16 clash on Saturday (today), 9pm (Nigerian time).
Nigeria vs Cameroon will be played at Stade Felix Houphouet-Boigny in Abidjan, where Cameroon beat Nigeria in the 1984 AFCON final.
But Peseiro, who is unfazed by the history, noted, “It’s a difficult match, but we want to win and stay in this tournament until the end,” he declared.
Nigeria finished second in Group A unbeaten after a 1-1 draw against Equatorial Guinea during their first outing. The Super Eagles further won Cote d’Ivoire 1-0 before getting the same result over Guinea-Bissau to secure their ticket.
