Yahaya Mohammed, newly appointed captain of Aduana Stars, has cautioned his teammates to remain focus, as they prepare for the second leg game against AS Vita on Sunday, saying "they would not be push-overs".

He said regardless of their 2-1 win over the Congolese side in their first leg encounter last Sunday, they still had a tough battle to fight against AS Vita Club at the Stade des Martyrs.

Yahaya, who spoke in an interview with GNA Sports at their final training before their trip to Congo, said, the home factor would be a very strong source of energy for the Congolese side, but with hard work and dedication, they would walk away with all three points.

The striker for the "Ogya lads" said "make no mistake as Vita would also be looking for a win. They have prepared themselves physically and mentally and would at the end of it all bring back something good.

He gave the assurance that his team would do everything possible to get a win or a draw, adding that a loss was not an option.

He called on Ghanaians for massive support and prayers ahead of the game on Sunday at 1300 GMT.

The skipper got a goal in the first leg encounter with AS Vita last Sunday at the Nana Agyemang Badu Stadium in Dormaa and is looking forward to getting another goal away in Congo.
