Flying Eagles coach, Paul Aigbogun has said he would not take Qatar for granted and demanded that the team must be at their best when both teams clash in their opening group game of the U20 World Cup today.

“We have analysed them with the information we have and they are a decent side.
“We plan to take this tournament a game at a time.”
