AYC:Amajita Gear Up Against Flying Eagles

Amajita head coach Solly Luvhengo has named an 18-man
Under-20 squad to play against Nigeria in the second leg of the 2013 African
Youth Championship qualifying match.

The match is scheduled to take place at the Ilorin Stadium
on Sunday.

The team reported for camp on September 30 to start
preparing for what promises to be a tricky encounter against the current AYC
champions who have a crucial away goal advantage.

Having played to a 1-1 draw in the first leg in South Africa
two weeks ago, Luvhengo insists his charges played well and were just
unfortunate not to have come away with a comprehensive win.

Luvhengo says he is confident of another good performance
and positive result away from home.

“We know it is going to be a tough match. We know what to
expect and we definitely know what is at stake but the same goes for the
Nigerians. They are also under pressure. We are preparing for battle and the
players know that very well.

“Obviously the advantage is with Nigeria but that does not
intimidate us. Any team that plays at home has three advantages; the field,
atmosphere and the crowd; these are the three things we cannot do anything
about, what we can do is prepare as much as possible and give it all we have,”
said Luvhengo.
