Super Eagles defenseman Kenneth Omeruo said his team was aware of some of the antics that Algeria may want to expose when the two teams face each other in the 2019 CAN semifinal.

The match will take place at the Cairo International Stadium from 19:00 Ghana time tonight.

Omeruo says the Super Eagles must be smart enough to avoid mistakes.

"You just have to be smart and very careful. The coach always tells us to avoid mistakes around the surface. We have already conceded two goals in the competition due to a foul around the surface and we want to avoid that, "Omeruo said at a press conference Saturday at the Cairo International Stadium.

"Algerians are fast and skilled, which means we have to pay attention to them.

"We have not seen the incident of their match against Ivory Coast, but it's good that there is now a value-added reseller and we also trust the l & # 39; Referee to do a good job.

"We know North Africans and their antics, but we will handle everything properly. South Africa tried to do the same against us, they did not succeed. "

Algeria won all of its matches up to the 32nd Africa Cup of Nations, conceding only one, and many invited it to conquer the continent for the second time.

Omeruo, although eager to play a tough game against the North Africans, is confident that the Super Eagles will be up.

"Algeria is a difficult team, so are we. We are fully recovered and ready for the game. As the coach said, we have recovered well and are looking forward to playing. "
