\u201cThey have one point and are bottom of the group. We are aware of our position and they are aware of their position,\u201d Eguavoen told the Super Eagles media.<\/p>\n

They will come here and fight. We are not thinking about the away game, our focus is the game in front of us on Friday.<\/p>\n
