Nwabali insisted they had the quality to finish top of the group. 'Football is the same everywhere but I don't feel that with the kind of players we have, we can have any challenge in any game, especially in our group. But you cannot predict football,' the Chippa United goalie told Lagos Talks. 'Talking about South African players I would say I know them. We have good players in our country too so I'm not talking about those guys, they are good in their own way of playing.
