EDITOR’S PICKS
In their opening game, Nigeria dominated New Zealand, winning 4-1 at the same venue on Wednesday.
Ecuador also had a strong start in the Dominican Republic, securing a 2-0 victory over the hosts.
A win for either team would secure a spot in the knockout stage, while a draw would leave the outcome to be decided on the final day.
Flamingos head coach Bankole Olowookere has expressed confidence in his team’s readiness for the match.
”Our tournament strategy is to focus on the next match, take it one match at a time. We need not look farther than the next match, and now, we have Ecuador in our sights. The Ecuadorians have shown, with their defeat of the host nation, that they may be debutants but not a team to be taken for granted,” he told thenff.com.
“The players have recovered well from their opening match victory over New Zealand and we are ready for Ecuador.
“We know that three points in that game will all but get us into the knock-out stage. It is an opportunity we will not allow to slip out of our hands.”
