Super Falcons coach Florence Omagbemi, has assured the fans that her team will beat the Teranga Lioness of Senegal to ensure they defend the African Women Championship they won two years ago
in Namibia.
Nigeria were held to a 1-1 draw by the Senegalese women last Friday at the at the Stade Demba Diop in Senegal, and the former Super Falcons superstar said they won't allow their Senegalese counterpart dictate their game for them on Tuesday.
Nigeria has qualified for the championship since its creation in 1991, winning the title nine times, hoping to make this year's their tenth.
"It was a very physical game and technically, I think the fans are satisfied with what they saw," Omagbemi told the official CAF website.
"It was a game between two good teams, and we had several chances in the first half. We managed to get a draw and we will go back to Abuja to complete what we started. Our goal is to go to Cameroon and defend our title, and that means a good performance in the return leg."
In Dakar on Friday, the Nigerians went up just before the break through substitute Chioma Wogu but the hosts rallied back through Binta Diakhate five minutes after the break.
The return leg will take place at the National Stadium Complex, Abuja on Tuesday with the winners to qualify for the 2016 AWCON.
