DREAM Team player, Ahmed Musa has urged his teammates to let the Black Meteors of Ghana return home with a basketful of goals, as both sides meet on Sunday, in the first leg of the All Africa Games soccer qualifier, at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin.

The VVV Venlo of Holland player who will miss the game due to club assignment said the rivalry between Ghana and Nigeria would be rekindled once more. "I would have loved to play against Ghana but I have to honour my club assignment now, I believe in the calibre of players in the camp, they will beat Ghana by God’s grace," said Musa, who scored Nigeria's third goal in the 3-0 victory over Tanzania last Sunday in the Olympics qualifier.

The former Kano Pillars player noted that the Tanzanians were not pushovers despite their humiliation in Benin.

"I am happy that we beat Tanzania by a wide margin because they were a bit hard. Really, we missed a lot of scoring chances that we could have scored more goals. "My advice to my teammates is to play well against Ghana. Ghana is a tough side anyday and we must be well prepared for the game. The rivalry between us will make the game difficult but I want my colleagues to score as many goals to make the secong leg tie in Ghana less stressful," Musa said.
