Despite their impressive display in the competition, Simon insisted that it is important for the players to keep their feet on the ground.
“It is going to be a difficult game, like the ones against Cote d’Ivoire and Cameroon, and even Equatorial Guinea. We must be at our best and focus on the prize,” Simon was quoted by thenff.com.
The encounter will kick-off at 5pm local time (6pm Nigeria time).

Super Eagles must now show why they are the most expensive team at AFCON, which implies they are the most professional footballers in Africa.
They don’t need to defend now that the tempo of the game at the quarter finale has been upped. They will play decently if they ever wanted to win the remaining matched which is clearly a work in progress. Up Super Eagles!
