  Kano Pillars Assure Nigerians of Victory Against ASC Jaraaf In CAF Confederation Cup By Niyi Busari The management of Kano Pillars, Nigeria representative in the CAF Confederation Cup, has assured Nigerians that the Sai Masu Gida boys will qualify for the next round in the competition at the expense of ASC Jaraaf of Senegal, BSNSports.com.ng reports. Chairman, Kano Pillars FC, Surajo Yahaya made this known when speaking exclusively with BSN Sports blaming the two-goal margin loss on the inactivity of the team for more than six months. He however, said that they have put that behind them and are focused on turning the table against the visitors on Saturday. "The preparations are in top gear, we will leave no stone unturned to turn the table against ASC Jaraaf of Senegal. It is an unfortunate situation that we found ourselves, we lost to the Senegalese side due to lack of engagement because the league is not on. Even if you prepare well for a match and there were no plans for clubs on the continental assignment to succeed. You must struggle but this is what happened to all clubs in Nigeria. We played well in Senegal, it was so unfortunate that we conceded 3 goals. However, I can assure you that we will conquer. We need just two goals and qualify for the next round. Jambul as he is fondly called refused to talk about Kano Pillars winning the continental Cup but said inning their next match is the most important assignment before the Nigeria giants. "We cannot start talking about playing in the final CAF Confederation Cup now. We have to concentrate on eliminating Jaraaf of Senegal first and that is the primary assignment before us now. "Our target has been getting to the group stage of the tournament. Then from there, we can focus on moving to the next level. "Definitely, closed doors will affect all clubs for not allowing supporters to cone in and cheer their darling club to victory. But there is nothing we can do. This is the situation, this is the rule and what is expected of us to be done. In Senegal at least 250 people are allowed in to watch the match. That's what we are going to do in Kaduna too next Saturday. Definitely, how we are going to see how nad way we are going to manoeuvre the Senegalese in Kaduna next Saturday. He urged Nigeria to remember Kano Pillars in prayers ahead of the Saturday CAF Confederation Cup second leg first round tie against ASC Jaraaf of Senegal. Kano Pillars lost 1-3 to ASC Jaraaf in the first leg of the preliminary stage of the competition in Dakar Senegal. The Federation Cup champions will need to score at least two goals without conceding in the second leg to progress to the next round of the tournament.
