GABORONE, Nov. 14 (Xinhua) -- Botswana coach Peter Butler has vowed to go for the kill when his team hosts Tunisia in the second leg of the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) soccer qualifier on Friday evening.
Botswana is already out of the qualifying race after losing their opening four matches of group G qualifiers, but Butler said they are not going to give in easy to their opponents
"They have everything to play for while we have nothing to lose, so we are going to attack them, we are playing at home, its important to score goals," Butler said.
The Zebras have been shy in front of goals having scored only one goal when skipper Joel Mogorosi netted in the first qualifier match against Tunisia in Tunis. Tunisia came from behind to win the match 2-1. Butler, who replaced Stan Tshosane early this year has already come under fire from the local soccer circles.
He has however reiterated that he is not under any pressure as his mandate was to guide the team to the group stages of the qualifiers and he has done that. Butler will have to play Tunisia without influential midfielders Ofentse Nato and Mogakolodi Ngele who left the team due to disciplinary issues.
He welcomed versatile midfielder Mogogi Gabonamong who missed the last qualifier match due to suspension. Meanwhile Tunisia coach Georges Leekens has said he will exercise caution against Botswana.
Tunisia leads group G with 10 points from four games. A win for Tunisia tonight will almost seal their qualification. Second in group G is Senegal with seven points while Egypt lies third with 6 points.
