where he received a drill and regained consciousness. He had cut in his eye but
he is hale and healthy now. And a special thanks to IMO State FA for swift
response,” Ayoola told Sportinglens.blogspot.com.
Speaking on
the team’s first away win, he added: “The most important thing is that we get first
away win. Whether it is early or late is not necessary. We thanked our fans who
supported us till this day.”
