Yes, we won the first leg but are not underrating our opponents rather, we are more focused and determined to play a good game and win well for our teaming fans and supporters,” said the midfielder.
Echoing his captain’s optimism, attacking sensation who netted the winning goal of the first leg, Frank Uwumiro, admitted that the first leg was difficult at some point but having seen how the team from Comoros Islands played, he and his teammates are better prepared going into the second leg fixture.
