Enyimba Travels to Casablanca with Hopes of Defeating Wydad, Says Olorunleke

Enyimba’s captain, Ojo Olorunleke, is determined to lead his team to victory against Wydad Athletic Club in Casablanca. The Nigerian champions suffered a 1-0 defeat in the first leg of the quarter-final clash in Uyo last weekend. Finidi George’s squad is now set to face the Red Castle in the return fixture at the Stade Mohamed V in Casablanca on Thursday night.

Enyimba faces the challenging task of scoring two goals without conceding in order to secure a spot in the semi-finals. They will be contending with a passionate home crowd at the magnificent stadium.

Despite the odds, Olorunleke remains optimistic about overcoming the obstacles and advancing to the next stage of the competition. In a pre-match press conference on Wednesday night, the goalkeeper expressed his confidence: “We came here to achieve victory. We are ready and confident, we have spoken together. We faced some difficulties and challenges before coming here, but we are a professional team and we can’t complain. We are here to win and qualify. We want to defeat Wydad like they did in the first leg.”
