Super Eagles assistant coach, Daniel Amokachi and captain Chigozie Agbim have assured Nigerians that they won’t leave the United Arab Emirates without getting a win from their foreign tour as they face Yemen on Saturday in Dubai.

"That is in the past now, we must all refocus our minds for the next game. Not only players but even we the officials because we cannot afford another slip,”Amokachi told the players after a training session in Dubai.
