The introduction of Ibrahim Enesi to replace Salisu Tanko in the 70th minute nearly yielded something for the homeside as he got a pass from John Jerome and tried to make a daring run towards goal but was caught offside before he could take a swipe at goal.Proceedings remained at 1-0 until the referee from Bauchi signalled the end of hostilities<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Techical Adviser of Kogi United Coach Abdulrahaman Aliyu thank God for the victory even though he chided his lads for their inability to convert most of the golden chances that came their way.
“Our opponent came with a game plan and it almost worked for them.I don’t know what’s wrong with my striker.We got a handful of decent opportunities but my boys were wasteful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coach Usman Yinka of Kebbi United describe his opponent as an improved side and also refused to make comments about the level of officiating but however said he will go back home and re-strategize ahead of his side’s next match<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kogi United will next travel to Malumfashi in a make or Mar battle they desperately needed to stay in the Nigeria National League<\/p>\n\n\n\n
