Similarly, the sole administrator for Enyimba, Felix Anyansi has equally stated that his side will brave the odds in Bamako and secure passage to the next phase despite their poor home display in Aba last weekend.
“Like I said, it is going to be difficult but it is not an impossible mission. If we go there with the right attitude and give it our best, I am sure we can win them.’’
