Enyimba lost 0-3 in the first leg in Kinshasa a fortnight ago and must score at least four unanswered goals to edge out their Congolese guests.

 Enyimba chairman Felix Anyasi-Agwu has declared that his team is focused on turning around the seemingly impossible dream into a possibility.

 “Our focus is on qualification and we hope to qualify for the next round of the championship. We have put the first leg behind and we are all looking ahead to the return game at the Enyimba Stadium, Aba, today.”

 Anyasi-Agwu, who guided Enyimba to continental success in 2003 and 2004, said his outfit has outlined a motivational package for his team to ensure they deliver the expected “magical” performance.

 “We are doing our best to boost the players’ morale,” he added.

 On his part, midfielder David Tyakasia is also buoyant of victory and is urging the fans to throng the stadium to cheer on the team to the expected result.

 “If they can score three goals there, we can equally outscore them here to get to the next round and I urge all our fans to come and cheer us to victory,” Tyakasia said.

 Enyimba gave a teaser of the expected performance with a 3-1 win over Niger Tornadoes in a rescheduled league clash over the weekend.
