CAF CONFEDERATION CUP: RAYON’S COACH, OLIVERA, VOWS TO CLINCH VICTORY IN ABA
Rayon Sports head coach, Roberto Oliveira, has threatened to make
history on Nigeria’s Enyimba home soil, by defeating them in front of
their fans.
Speaking on FERWAFA’s official website, Roberto said, all his team
needs to do is to beat Enyimba or get a score draw in Aba on Sunday to
progress into the last four.
Oliveira’s men dominated the first leg tie in Kigali on Sunday for
long spells, but were let down by their poor marksmanship. The game
ended in a barren drawn.
“It was a very difficult game. They played long balls while we
maintained our ball possession football.
“Overall, we were the better side, but their defense and goalie were
solid. It’s now time to go back to the drawing board and prepare for
the return-leg,” Roberto told FERWAFA’s official website
“We will push to score goals and win the game, and we have proved we
can score and win matches on foreign soil.
“I have confidence in my players, and the coaching staff. We want to
register further history and we will do all we can to achieve it.
Thankfully, we didn’t concede on Sunday”, he said.
