The Watford of England forward who reacted shortly after the first leg match said if the Pharaohs of Egypt could pick a draw here in Nigeria, the Super Eagles can as well go to Alexandra to pick a win.
Ighalo said he was disappointed the Egyptians were able to grab a late equalizer.
“We did not do badly, we gave our best, and you can see that from the way we played the match, but we were very unlucky to have ended the match 1-1.
“Despite this result, I don’t want to believe that we are out yet. We are going to learn from this match and improve on that in the second leg in Alexandra. The hope of qualifying is still very much alive," Ighalo added.
Meanwhile, the Super Eagles are expected to depart the country’s shores on Monday for the return leg match scheduled for Tuesday in Alexandria.
Egypt still top the Group G with seven points while Nigeria remain in second position with 5 points.
