Nigeria vs Libya: Ahmed Musa warns Super Eagles players

Musa, who scored Nigeria’s first goal in their 3-0 win against Seychelles at the last AFCON qualifying match, hopes the three times African champions will get all three points against the visitors this weekend.

“I’m ready to play on Saturday,” The Al Naser of Saudi striker told Footballlive

“I would like to repeat what happened in the game against Seychelles, and if I can score that would be good, but what matters is that we win the match at home to Libya. It’s a special game.”

Musa added: “In these types of games you have to give everything. They are heated encounters in which winning is complicated and there is no need to motivate anyone.

“Libya have a very complete team, you must be careful of anyone. They are a difficult opponent.”
