“We worked hard, we had to concentrate when the scoreline was 1 - 0. I am dedicating this goal to Enyimba supporters, they stood by us, and cheered us, they believed we could do it.
“The second leg will not be easy. We will work on our weak points and hope to score more goals. By the grace of God, we will qualify for the next round. ”
