“We are happy for the win. We worked so hard to see that we win today’s game.
“I am really happy with the boys. They have done so well. They are imprinting all we teach them in our trainings, and I believe they are adapting quickly,” the former Super Eagles coach told the club’s media.
“I am not surprised that we scored three goals in this game, even though we lost momentary concentration toward the latter stages of the game, which is dangerous. But this is football; it happens sometimes.
“For now, our focus is on the President Federation’s Cup Round of 16 tie against Bayelsa United on Wednesday, and after that, we could pay attention to the league’s game against Bendel Insurance in Benin.
“We approach each game at a time, and we are ready for tye the challenge.”
