Charging his boys, Ubah said: “If they can come to our home and play under our hot weather condition, we can also play in their cold region and defeat them,” he said .

He continued: “Everybody knows that from the first leg, you are a better side and we expect you to beat them here.”

The whole episode ended with the 3-0 penalty loss in Egypt that saw Ifeanyi Ubah FC out of the competition.
