All teams in Group C all have a chance to progress as Nigeria lead with 4 points. Guinea and Tunisia are placed second and third respectively, while Niger’s 4 – 1 loss to Nigeria placed them at the bottom of the group with one point.
Speaking with Supersports.com, Ibenegbu promised that his side will improve their game but posited that it would not be an easy task.
“No team is pushover here at the ongoing African Nations Championship in Rwanda even Niger we beat 4-1 were too tough not to talk of the Tunisians.
“So we are not expecting any cheap match in the championship not against Guinea on Tuesday in Rubavu.
“Guinea are difficult side and will come all out to chance claiming the three points to go through to the quarterfinals.
“At least a point against Guinea will cement a quarterfinals spot for us but we will not settle for draw rather go for outright victory.
“Victory will give us a firm hold at the top and serve as signal of our intention to claim the top prize at the end of the day.”
