Eguavoen spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria in Benin after they played a goalless draw with visiting Globacom Premier League team, Warri Wolves, in a friendly game at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin on Thursday.
He said that though the club was improving by the day, goal-scoring was still a major challenge.
Eguavoen, a former Super Eagles coach, pledged to work on the team’s goal scoring ability before their Nigeria National League match against Prime FC of Osogbo at the weekend.
He expressed satisfaction with the outcome of the match saying, “I think we are improving every day, we must give it to Warri Wolves, they are more mature. It’s expected of them because they played the Federation Cup final last year and going continental right now to fly Nigeria’s flag.
“We are happy with the result; we still have a lot to improve on. I strongly believe that the boys have all it takes to improve.”
Coach of Wolves, Paul Aigbogun, said the friendly match was meant to put his team in the right frame of mind for their first away continental match in the Cameroon.
“You know our first continental game in the CAF Confederation Cup is away from home, and so we came here with a team structured to play away from home. We were a bit unfortunate that we could not slot in a goal but we came here to win,’’ he said.
He said his team would do their best and ensure that they get a descent result when they travel to Cameroon.
“We are going there to do our best and try and make everybody proud, no matter what. We will give it 100 per cent attention.”
