Sierra Leone and Blue Sharks of Cape Verde who qualify will meet Mail, when you play this kind of game, it doesn’t necessarily mean you have to win but the important thing is to qualify, so we have to execute every Strategy to qualify.

“Even though we are led by (2-0) but in football, everything can happen, we are not yet done, we have to work hard and get the qualification done,” he said.
Sierra Leone just needs to avoid a defeat and hold on to their two goals advantage and they will secure a place in the next rounds and they will face the Mail.
