“Firstly, I thank God because despite the high intensity of the game, no one sustained injury. It was a highly intense match, and our opponents – Rivers United, are a good side. We knew it wasn’t going to be an easy match for us. But I believe we gave it all.

“We were supposed to win the game, but unfortunately we didn’t. Maybe, that’s how God wants it. Well, I can’t say. We played according to the coach’s instructions. We did our best. Like I said earlier, we gave it all.

“We even had a goal and the referee disallowed it. She has the final decision; we can’t do anything about it. We had a penalty appeal which she didn’t award. That’s football for you.”
