Former Nigerian goalkeeper Peter Rufai has tasked the Super Eagles to go for an early goal against Ghana on Tuesday.
Rufai believes the early goal can unsettle Ghana for Nigeria to bang in more and killed the game.
“This is going to be a tough encounter, however, our dream of playing at the World Cup is in our hands right here in Abuja. All we need to do is to score early goal because that will unsettle the Black Stars.” Rufai stated agead of the game
“I am optimistic the Ghanaian side can’t pull an upset against us but then, we must have to watch our back so as to prevent any form of counter attacks.”
“We just have to be clinical in front of goal and punish the Black Stars for every error that they make. This is our game and we must win come Tuesday.” He added.
Nigeria recorded a goalless draw in the first leg in Kumasi.
