A must win - Brown Ideye assures Kanu Nwankwo’s Enyimba ahead of Zamalek clash

Newly signed Enyimba forward Brown Ideye has disclosed the importance of a victory against Zamalek in their CAF Confederation Cup Group D fixture.

The two-time African champions are set to face the Egyptian giants in Cairo on Sunday in a must win encounter that will determine their fate in the competition.

“It’s a must-win match for us. Zamalek are a good side, but we will go all out there to get the maximum points.

“They have already qualified for the next round of the competition and so may rest their top players.

“The chairman (Nwankwo Kanu) has spoken to us and I believe it’s still possible to win this match," he said

The two sides previously met on matchday two in December, playing out a 2-2 draw. Currently, Enyimba sits third in Group D with five points.

To reach the quarter-finals, Stanley Eguma’s team must defeat group winners Zamalek and also hope that Al Masry, who currently have six points, fail to win their match against visiting Black Bulls.
