“It was a very tight game based on the condition of the field as it was water-logged due to a heavy downpour,” he told the club’s media.

“We conceded through an error, but we played our way back and got what we worked for.

“After losing their last home game, Bayelsa United were more under pressure in today’s game. So, we came with a game plan to frustrate them the more, and it worked for us.

“I give credit to my boys for being able to get the job done, without sounding disrespectful to the Bayelsa United’s side, because they gave their all, but unfortunately couldn’t get any positive result.”
