Super Eagles caretaker coach, Augustine Eguavoen has vowed his team will go all out for a win against the Cheetahs of Benin Republic.
The Eagles need a win from the game to book a spot at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations which will be hosted by Morocco.
Eguavoen reckoned their opponent will be a tough nut to crack.
The former defender however said they will work hard to achieve their objective.
“We’ll fight for every ball and for every point, and that’s what we want to do tomorrow (today),” Eguavoen told the Super Eagles media.
“In respect to that, Benin is not a pushover, but we will work hard to make sure we achieve our objective.”
The Cheetahs are managed by former Super Eagles head coach, Gernot Rohr.
The German coached the Super Eagles between 2016 and 2021.
Eguavoen admitted Rohr knows everything about the Super Eagles but claimed that will not stop them from beating the Cheetahs.
“We worked with Gernot Rohr for so many years. He was our head coach, and he’s a very good one, no doubt. He knows us in and out, he’s part of us, but we know him inside out as well,” he added.
“We know what he’s capable of, and he knows Nigeria is a country you don’t toil with. We respect them, and we’ll play with the mindset that we come into games with and that’s to win, but it’s easier said than done.”
