Coach Abubakar Bala of Niger Tornadoes says that he is worried about his team slow buildup as the Nigeria Professional Football League is gathering momentum.
Coach Bala while addressing the post-match conference of matchday two after his side was forced to 1-1 draw at the Confluence Stadium, Lokoja by visiting Abubakar Bukola Saraki (ABS) said that lessons have been learnt and corrections would be effected promptly so that the team bounce back immediately.
He said that this match has come and gone and that all that was needed was to take the positives from the match ahead of the team’s next clash.
The coach, however, maintained optimising that his side would soon get back to winning ways; he, however, charged his wards to redouble their efforts.
ABS Ilorin FC got the curtain raiser of the day when Tornadoes central defender Sunday Akinmoladun back header pass to Goalkeeper Mustapha Aliko was too short to reach as Mohammed Mohammed capitalised on the error to loop over the ball ahead of the onrushing Tornadoes goalkeeper in the 30th minute.
Mohammed goal for ABS, however, propelled the Ikon Allah side from Minna to put more fight as Odeyemi Ebenezer equalised for the home side when the visitors could not clear the ball in the box in the 37th minute as the first half ended 1-1. Odeyemi could not continue the match as he got injured, which led to Tornadoes to lack the bites they were having upfront.
