Meanwhile, new goalkeeper Darren Keet said the side will move on now after Saturday’s match and qualifying was in the honour of late captain and keeper Senzo Meyiwa was tragically shot and killed last month.
The Doncaster Rovers midfielder added that he was honoured by the positive reception form the fans after been given the captains armband.
Furman’s every touch was met by calls of ‘Mluuuungu’ and 'Deeeean', reminiscent of the days when fans took to Matthew Booth.
Wednesday nights’ match at the Uyo International Stadium kicks off at 19:00.
