Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa has recalled the team’s dramatic victory against eternal rivals Cameroon at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.
The stage is set for another thrilling clash between the two teams at the Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium, Abidjan, on Saturday.
The Super Eagles and the Indomitable Lions met at the same stage of the competition five years ago in Egypt.
Nigeria emerged victorious, claiming a hard-earned 3-2 victory in Alexandria.
“That game was a tough duel and brought out the best in us, especially when we went 1-2 down despite scoring first,” Musa told thenff.com.
“In the dressing room, we told ourselves that we could not allow that to happen. We played for one another and we were happy to win at the end.”
Musa is looking forward to another tough encounter against Rigobert Song’s men this time around.
“Of course, we know the match on Saturday (Saturday)will be even tougher. The Cameroonians will be determined not to lose again, but we will give our very best and go for a win. We can do it again. Our aspiration is to win the trophy and nothing has changed that,” added the winger.
