It is not over for Warri Wolves yet, Says coach Mansur

Warri Wolves head coach Mansur Abdullahi has said that his club’s season is not over yet, insisting that the fight to stay on in the top league can only be declared over after Match Day 38 game against Ikorodu United in Warri on Sunday.

The Seasiders lost 1-0 to Sunshine Stars in match day 37 fixture at the Akure Stadium on Sunday.

Dayo Ojo scored the winner for Sunshine Stars to secure maximum three points in their last home match of the 2015/2016 NPFL season played with fans locked out. Crowd incidence on Match Day 33 against Heartland led to a decision by the league organisers to order the Akure Gunners to play behind locked gates.

Ojo had earlier missed two goal scoring opportunities during the first half but made amends by heading in a second-half winner as Sunshine Stars moved into fifth place in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) standings.

"I cannot say Warri Wolves are relegated for now because nobody knows how the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) will end for now. We still have a match to play, who says other teams such as MFM and Ikorodu won't lose their last games?

"As it is among the relegation-threatened teams so it is for the top clubs who don't know if they will win the league", Abdul told npfl.ng.
