CAFCL: Eguma Hails Watanga FC, Shift Focus To The Return Leg

Nigeria's champions walloped Watanga FC 3-0 with all the goals coming in the first half of the encounter.

Eguma made several changes but were unable to break down Watanga in the second as they ended 3-0.

During the post-match conference, the coach praised the away side and promised that they are going to fashion another strategy for the away game because is going to be an easy match.

"It was a very tough game, anybody that heard the name will think it was a pushover.

"We took them on in the first half, pressed them and make sure that they collapsed and we got the goals but I gave kudos to their technical team in the second half for fashioning a strategy to contain us.

We tried our best in the second half from the flanks but we couldn't penetrate and I think we have to work very hard because if they could hold us here for 45 minutes, I knew is going to be more difficult in Moravia.

"We are not relying on the 3-0 we won here, like I said they are a strong side and a good team, we expect a tougher opposition in the second leg than today but we are going to fashion out another strategy for the game and we are not going to defend", he said.
