Dolphins defender Victor Ezuruike has said his side will upturn the slim 0-1 defeat at Leones Vegetarianos of Equatorial Guinea in the Caf Confedration Cup competition.
The Garden City host the West African challengers in the reverse fixture on Saturday at the Liberation Stadium in Port Harcourt.
Ezuruike said his teammates have decided to put aside the domestic difficulties to win big for
themselves.
“We’ve decided to succeed against Leones Vegetarianos on Saturday irrespective of the tough challenges confronting us at the moment.
“The encounter is certain to be difficult but we’ve agreed among ourselves to win and advance to the next stage of the competition.
“Leones Vegetarianos are good and strong side though we would’ve got something decent in Malabo if not for the unpardonable misses at goal.
“The hurdle that stares us in the face and the next stage is the slim 0-1 defeat in Malabo, but we’re determined to cross it with as many as two or three unreplied goals.
“The situation is that encouraging on the home front but we’ve resolved to go out there and win for ourselves and our teeming supporters too.
“It won’t be good for our image and reputation to exit the championship at this early stage so we must fight hard to stay alive,” said the former Heartland strongman to supersport.com.
Victory will guarantee Dolphins passage to the second round of Africa’s second tier club competition.
