Enyimba head coach, Fatai Osho has warned his side against any form of complacency ahead of their CAF Champions League tie against Sudanese giant, Al Merreikh.
The two times Champions League winners will lock horns with Al Merrikh in the final qualifying round of the competition after narrowly edging Rahimo FC.
Osho who watched his squandered plenty scoring opportunities in the second leg at home against FC Rahimo said the team must be ruthless in front of goal if they want to progress ahead of Al Merreikh.
“You can see we were just too wasteful. We should have wrapped up the whole game in the first half.
“When you keep throwing away chances like that, you are empowering your opponents to come into the game and that’s something we discussed prior to this match.
“You’ve got to be deadly. In Burkina Faso also we created a lot of chances but couldn’t covert them. But I think we can still get better in front of goal. That was our greatest undoing (against Rahimo). We were just too wasteful.”
“We need to improve on converting our chances. If you look at the game (against Rahimo), we had a lot of chances to score more goals but we did not take those chances.
“We are playing against a very big team, Al Merrikh, and for us to scale through against such a team we have to convert our chances,” he told club’s media.
The winner between Enyimba and Al Merreikh will book their place in the lucrative group stage of the competition.
