Behaylu Asefa up for Nigeria battle

Ethiopia midfielder Behaylu Asefa insists Nigeria's billing as African champions will not prevent his side from going for the jugular when they meet in 2014 World Cup qualifying.

The two sides will lock horns in Addis Ababa for the first-leg of their knock-out qualifier on October 13, with the Walia Antelopes hoping to make the most of home ground advantage against the Super Eagles, who lifted the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations title in February.
"They are the African champions but that doesn't deter us from beating them. We have prepared for the match and we are ready to face them," he told SuperSport.
"When we were being drawn against Nigeria we knew we would face any team in the top five. From Cote d'Ivoire to Ghana, we were aware what kind of a team we would play and that is why we won't fear Nigeria.
"We were ready for any team and they can come play us here where we will fight for a win."
