AFL: Im Optimistic We Can Overcome Wydad In Casablanca Enyimba Coach, Finidi

Enyimba head coach Finidi George has expressed optimism that the Nigeria league champions can overturn their first leg deficit against Wydad Casablanca.

In Sundays quarter-final first leg of the maiden Africa Football League in Uyo, Enyimba fell to a 1-0 defeat.

In stoppage time Enyimba had a player sent off after Somiari Alalibo was given his matching orders.

Despite the defeat, Finidi believes if his players can take their chances they can still see off the Moroccans

Football is about goal scoring, if we had scored the overall result would have been different, he said on Brila FM.

In a couple of days we will have the return leg, Im happy that in as much as we want to win the game, Im happy that we lost by just 1-0 which gives us another opportunity to go over there and see if we can.

If we have the same opportunities that we got here, if we can take one or two its going to be a different ball game.

Im quite optimistic about the second leg but its unfortunate that we lost the first leg.
