Super Eagles’ Interim Coach Samson Siasia
Siasia who said this during a post-match briefing at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium, following his team’s 1-1 draw with the Pharaohs, said his team could win the return leg match.

Etebo Oghenekaro had on Friday put the Eagles ahead in the 60th minute before Mohamed Salah beat the offside trap to equalise for the Pharaohs in the 90th minute.
The Eagles handler, however, said the team’s technical crew would correct the lapses noticed in the match in Kaduna before the reverse fixture in Alexandria on Tuesday.

“We will try to see what went wrong and do a proper check before playing our next match so that we can win in Egypt.
“The players did well but I don’t know what went wrong in the last three minutes when the Egyptians equalised. That is football for you.
“A game can end up in a draw or loss even when you play well. However, we should have been marking in the last three minutes, but it turned out the other way.
