“Before now, we were very much aware of how difficult this game would be, knowing that Ikorodu City are also a team in contention for the league title,”Mangut told the club’s media.
“We gave them a lot of respect in the first-half. We sat back a lot, no chance created, so, we decided to effect some changes in the second half, and you saw that those changes made the difference for us.
“In all, we are grateful to God for the victory, regardless of the scoreline.
“With nine matches to end the current league season, we will continue to improve on our scoring and defending abilities to finish strong on the table.”
