Owerri, Nigeria (PANA) -
Ahead of Sunday's first leg of the 2009 CAF Champions L
eague final, to be played in Nigeria's South-eastern city of Owerri, captain of
h
ome team Heartland FC Victor Ezeruike has boasted that the team will crush TP Ma
z
embe of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
In the match, to be played at the Dan Anyiam Stadium, the Owerri team will be tr
ying to emulate another Nigerian side, Enyimba of Aba, which won the trophy in 2
0
03 and 2004.
"I don't see how TP Mazembe will escape losing with a wide margin. No club has b
een able to withstand our firepower in Owerri,'' Ezeruike boasted in an intervie
w
with PANA Saturday.
"We need to win very well in Owerri so that we can be comfortable when we travel
to Lumubashi (for the return leg match),'' he said. ''When you remember that we
have scored more than 20 goals in Owerri, you will realise that we are ready for
the finals of the competition."
