Kwara United FC will square up against the Niamey-based side in the return leg of the ongoing 2022/2023 TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup competition on Sunday, with their nose in front owing to the 3-0 first leg win.

But for Coach Abdulazeez Mohammed, it’s not over, until it’s finally over.

“We will try to go and get qualification in Niamey, because the job is not done yet. We still have crucial 90 minutes ahead of us. We will go there and play to get the ticket to the next stage.

“Our targets are to play and earn a clean sheet, and also qualify. We are going there to attack, and that’s why I told my strikers to ensure that any ball that comes to them counts.

“We got three goals in the first leg, all goals coming in the first half, and I will say it’s normal in African perspective. We are trying to change the mentality of the players, because, we are supposed to get more than three goals in the match.

“In Niamey, my players will need to keep their heads, and play according to our plan and targets. We have trained hard ahead of the battle of Niamey”, he concluded.

The match will hold at the Stade General Senyi Kountche, and the winner over the two legs to play Morrocan side, Berkane, in the next stage.

Alhaji Attahiru Ibrahim who is the SA Sports to Governor Abdulrahman has once again congratulated Kwara United for their 3-0 win over AS Douanes in the first leg of the CAF CC preliminary stage urging them to go for another victory in Niamey.

Kwarans were all happy on Sunday with the performance of Kwara United players against their opponents from Niger in a tie watched by Governor Abdulrahman and his lovely wife.

Unfortunately, Alhaji Attahiru Ibrahim missed his flight to Lagos from Abuja and was unable to be at the stadium even though he watched the match live on Kwara TV live streaming.

In a statement made by the Talba Sanmari of Patigi on Wednesday morning, Attahiru made it clear that he wants Kwara United to reach the Group Stage of the CAF Confederations Cup.

“I was impressed with their game in Lagos and I must commend the players for their fighting spirit and also to enjoin them to shine in the return leg in Niamey,” Attahiru explained to award winning Sports Journalist Ibitoye Shittu.

Since his appointment as the SA Sports, Kwara United players have been enjoying maximum support both physically and financially from Alhaji Attahiru Ibrahim who always give out huge sum of cash gift on match days.

Attahiru is not only concerned about the welfare of Kwara United as the Talba Sanmari of Patigi has touched all sporting associations in Kwara State.
