Midfielder Francisca Ordega has expressed confidence the Nigeria has what it takes to beat Cameroon in the quarter final of the ongoing 2022 WAFCON.
The teams will clash on Thursday in Casablanca and winner of tie will also qualify for the FIFA World Cup.
Nigeria reached last eight of the WAFCON after finishing second in the Group C, same as Cameroon, who themselves managed to seal qualification with just five points in Group D.
“Everybody here understands what is at stake. After what happened in our first game, we knew we had to switch from that moment and remain positive. We had to come back stronger and make a difference in the other games,” Ordega said.
“When it comes to Nigeria, every team wants to beat us, but we won’t look down on any team, we know we can be better, and definitely we will get stronger match by match.
“Cameroon are a very strong side and I know they play good football. My teammate, Gabrielle Onguéné, and I were joking about meeting ourselves at the WAFCON, before we left Russia and I told her, we would beat them.
“They usually give everything whenever they meet us, but we have learnt from our mistakes and won’t let ourselves and our fans down again,” She concluded.
