Abia
Warriors football club of Umuahia Chief Coach, Abdullahi Usman Biffo has dedicated
his side’s 2-0 win over visiting Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) of Ibadan in
a match day 34 of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) game at the
weekend to the club’s injured top scorer, Sunday Adetunji.
Ndifreke
Effiong opened scoring in the 13th minute and forced under pressure defender,
Samuelson Ngongo to beat his own goalkeeper, Charles Tambe for the second goal
with four minutes to end the first half.
The former
Niger Tornadoes gaffer expressed satisfaction with the performance of his boys at the Umuahia Township Stadium on Sunday.
Biffo said
the entire team decided to play and win for Adetunji, the club's top scorer
this season who fractured his left arm in Abia Warriors' 4-2 away win over Lobi
Stars in Makurdi and is now receiving medical attention at the Federal Medical
Center, Umuahia.
"He
(Adetunji) is a very important member of our team and we miss him so much. All of us were worried when he sustained the
injury and so we decided that the best thing to do for him would be to continue
winning our games," Biffo further stated.
The coach
said Abia Warriors will not be distracted by its recent results which has seen
the team go five matches unbeaten but would continue to work harder in order to
finish at a respectable position at the end of the season.
