Monteiro’s side will need to beat the Flying Eagles to have any chance of progressing to the quarter-finals.
“We need a win and we will try our best to get it,” Monteiro told journalists.
“We know that it’s a complicated match and it’s not easy to play against Nigeria they’re strong but we will try our best. We had two strong matches and two strong teams.
“We know that this group will not be easy but I believe my boys will get better game by game. The previous two matches gave them experience and playing time so if we recover well they can compete with Nigeria tomorrow.”

The main problem they have is that dey needed a win . It where to be a draw now it would have been easy ..
They need confidence and concentration to play against Nigeria, though Nigeria is never ready to take chances at this stage. Secondly,they should pray against mother luck and try to avail any slight scoring opportunity they have.
