Mozambique coach Dario Monteiro plots Nigeria’s U20 Afcon elimination
By Saheed Afolabi
Mozambique coach, Dario Monteiro believes a win for Mozambique against Nigeria could guarantee their place in the next round of the U20 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.
The Young Os Mambas see their qualification to the next round on a thin rope as they are with a point from two matches following draw with Egypt and defeat to Group A leaders Senegal.
Despite their disappointing loss to the Senegalese, the Mozambique gaffer is assuring of victory against the WAFU-B champions, while reflecting on his side’s unfortunate capitulation against the WAFU-A winners.
“We are now preparing to face Nigeria on Saturday. The match is not easy, but we are holding on to our chance to rise and we will fight for victory. It is now clear, either we win or we return to our country,” Monteiro told media.
“We performed well in the first half and prevented Senegal from scoring any goal. We also took the initiative to attack and tried to score, but we did not take advantage of the opportunity.
“The situation was completely different in the second half, and the team could not continue to resist the Senegal attack. We have to admit that the Senegal national team is very strong and we have more time to reach their level.”
Nigeria are second on the league table with three points from two games and a loss to the Southern Africans will confirm the Flying Eagles’ elimination from the competition.
