Super Eagles head coach, Gernot Rohr, has disclosed his team target as they take Libya on Tuesday in the 2nd Leg of the 2019 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying fixture.

The Eagles head to the game after a 4-0 win against the North Africans in the 1st leg played on Saturday in Uyo.

Three goals from Changchun Yatai star, Odion Ighalo, and a goal from Kalu Uche, ensured that the Super Eagles took all three points in Uyo.

Rohr revealed that the Eagles are targeting at least a draw in tomorrow’s reverse fixture, adding that four points from the two legs would be good for his side.

“Of course now, we have to do a second step, it is not finished now because we have to win again,” Allnigeriasoccer quoted Rohr as saying ahead of Libya clash.

“We wanted four points from the two matches and we are still not going to underrate Libya.

“They played well, they fought, we were lucky to score that early goal from the penalty. Don’t forget we had problems in the first half, we have to be stronger if we want to win the game”.

The game will take place at the 18,000 capacity Stade Taïeb Mhiri, the home ground of Tunisia Premier League side, CS Sfaxien.

Kick-off is at 7pm Nigerian time.
