Cape Verde Islands head coach Pedro Leitao Brito Bubista says his side will go all out for a win in Tuesday’s 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying tie against Nigeria, reports Completesports.
The encounter is billed to hold at the 5,000 seater Estadio Municipal Aderito Sena, Mindelo.
The Blue Sharks were held to a 1-1 draw by Central African Republic in their matchday one encounter on Wednesday.
“From the moment we finished the game in the Central African Republic, we started thinking about this game (against Nigeria),” Bubista told local news website Expresso das Ilhas
“Obviously we want to be as strong as possible to look for the three points. As we create opportunities with the Central African Republic, we are confident that we will also be able to create with Nigeria and any other team. We always enter the field with a spirit of victory.”
This will be the second meeting between the two West Africans after the Super Eagles forced the Blue Sharks to a 1-1 draw in a friendly in 2013.
