Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi has said he has started planning for the second leg match against Ethiopia in Calabar  on November  16, saying the team have decided to take the game  seriously, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.

Nigeria defeated the Walya Antelopes of Ethiopia  2-1 in the first leg of Brazil 2014 World Cup playoff in Addis Ababa on Sunday.

“We will play as if the first leg has not taken place,’’  Keshi, told reporters  at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on Monday on arrival from Addis Ababa.

Keshi said the domestic league players  were  expected to open the team’s camp at the end of the month and that their foreign-based counterparts would  join later.

He said the Ethiopians gave the Eagles good run for their money but that experience gave the African champions the day.

 Assistant coach Daniel Amokachi said  the  coaching  crew had drawn up a plan for the return leg.
