Former Bendel
Insurance of Benin City forward, Austine Ogunye has stated that Nigeria
Professional Football League (NPFL) side, Mountain of Fire and Miracles
Ministries Football Club of Lagos will not handle the round 32 Federation Cup
tie against Kastina United Football Club
of Kastina with kid gloves.
The NPFL side
will go head to head with Kastina United FC in one of the second round fixtures
of the 2015/16 Federation Cup games coming up this Thursday at the Confluence
Stadium in Lokoja, Kogi State.
MFM FC edged
El-Kanemi Babes Football Club of Maiduguri 5-3 on penalties after a one all
draw at the Kaduna Township Stadium on the 25th of May, 2016.
Ogunye said
his side has put behind it the loss to Rivers United Football Club of Port
Harcourt and all attention will be on the Federation Cup clash against the
Kastina-based team with the sole aim of advancing to the next round of the
competition.
“We have put
the outcome of our last league match behind us knowing fully well that every
team in this year’s Federation Cup is not a pushover, so we won’t take the game
against Kastina United FC lightly. Federation Cup has always been a difficult
competition due to its knockout nature and what’s at stake. It’s also a
shortcut to the continent, so we must fight for total victory,” he said.
The Olukoya
Boys arrived in the City of Lokoja from Port Harcourt on Monday evening.
