Eagles condemned to beat Ghana -Ighalo

Al Hilal of Saudi striker, Odion Ighalo, has said that the Super Eagles will do everything humanly possible today to beat Ghana’s Black Stars and qualify for the 2022 World Cup.

Following last Friday’s barren draw at the Baba Yara Stadium, Kumasi, in the first leg playoff, Austin Eguavoen’s side need outright win to eliminate arch rivals en route to Qatar 2022.

The reverse fixture is scheduled to take place from 6:00pm today at the MKO Abiola National Stadium, Abuja, and the former Manchester United forward wants fans in large numbers at the stands to cheer them to victory.

“We know we are condemned to win at home and if we want to go to the World Cup we have to win.

“We know it is going to be a difficult game, it’s going to be a tough one but the boys are ready to go.

“We just call on the fans to come out in large numbers to cheer us on Tuesday, we are looking forward to them because they are our 12th man.

“Without them it’s going to be impossible so we want them to come out in numbers, support us and cheer us to victory. By God’s grace we are going to win the game,” Ighalo who has netted 22 goals so far this season told reporters in Abuja after a training session ahead of today’s showdown.
