Niger Tornadoes head coach Majin Mohammed has revealed the reason behind his team’s 1-1 draw against Bendel Insurance.
Mohammed said that the early sending off of goalkeeper Joshua Enaholo affected his team.
The young tactician commended his players for their bravery in securing a point in the game despite the setback.
Jonas Emmanuel and Vincent Okeke scored for Niger Tornadoes and Bendel Insurance, respectively.
“The early minute red card disrupted our match plan, but it’s part of the game, however, it was a good game despite playing with a man down, the boys gave a good account of themselves, created chances, scored a goal but couldn’t defend it,” Mohammed stated in a post-match interview.
“We appreciate God for a point is better than nothing, we knew it was going to be very hard for us knowing well that the visitors were still sweating from their 17 years home unbeaten record we broke last season, so they came with the mindset to cause an upset here.
“Above all the league is improving, the referee are doing well, that’s why teams are picking points away from home, We will also go out and hunt for more points.
“We are not under any form of pressure, at least, whatever we lose here, God always complement it for us when we go away.”
