Troost-Ekong reckoned the Super Eagles must brace up for a difficult test against Nasser Al-Hadiri’s side.
“I think we knew we were superior today but we had to take the game like a big puzzle trying to solve the problem on how we can get the chances,” Troost-Ekong said in the post-match conference.
“And now the experience from the first game should prepare us better for the second game.”
“I think it will be something similar and probably be more difficult because we won’t have our lovely fans here to cheer us on so it going to be very hostile there.”

Troost-Ekong further added: “I presume the referee would be difficult, the crowd would be difficult, they will try and make it as hard as they can for us but we will be ready and we will learn from the mistakes we made today.
“And we just need to be more clinical and try to convert even half chances to goals.”
