“We will not go defensive rather we will take the game to them to see if we can get goal and I know my girls can do that. We know the opponent will not sit back, they will come out to play.
“Definitely I think it will be easier in Malawi because if they sit back and we are able to create chances like this (in the first leg), we lost a lot of scoring chances now they will come out to play and definitely we will have chances to score and I think our defence is it bad and our goalkeeper is not that bad so we are on course.”
While the Falconets have never failed to qualify for the U-20 World Cup, Malawi will hope to make their debut at the bi-ennial tournament.
