Super Falcons captain and midfielder, Evelyn Nwabuoku has said her side will not disappoint against the Malian opponents.

Falcons will be the guests of the West Africans foes in the All Africa Games (AAG) final round first leg clash on Saturday at the Stade Modibbo Keita in Bamako.

Nwabuoku said her side’s target is to win convincingly in Bamako to make the decisive fixture in Nigeria a mere formality.

“We’re going to Bamako to win and win convincingly so as to make the reverse fixture down here in Abuja, Nigeria a mere formality.

“However, we just want to focus squarely on the first leg match before we start talking of the return leg.

“We’re still at pain for the side’s non-qualification of the championship in the immediate past edition so we’re determined to do whatever it takes to qualify for the AAG in Congo Brazzaville.

“We don’t know much about the Malians but we strongly believe we’ve what it takes to fight them to a standstill on the field of play.

“The players are in perfect shape, team spirit quite high and we’re all roaring to go.

“We just want the prayers and supports of Nigerians to have a good day on match day.

“There is no cause for alarm as we’re poised not to disappoint Nigerians on Saturday,” said the Nigeria Women Premier League (NWPL) side, Rivers Angels captain to supersport.com.

The winners of both legs will qualify for the football event of the 2015 All Africa Games in Congo Brazzaville.

Both countries will still fight for a place in the 2016 Rio Olympic Games football event.
