By Akeem Lawal

MOUNTAIN of Fire and Miracle Ministries (MFM FC) midfielder Chukwuka Onuwa believes his side needs to beat Kwara United in the Nigeria Professional Football League Match-Day 2 encounter slated for 'Soccer Temple' Agege Stadium on Wednesday, as they cannot afford to miss two games in a row.

Sportsbiz247.blogspot.com reports that the Olukoya Boys lost 2-0 to Abia Warriors in their opening match in Umuahia, no thanks to second half brace by Effiong Ndifereke.

In a chat with Sportsbiz247.blogspot.com on Tuesday, the skillful attacking midfielder is however expecting a tough game against the Harmony Boys who also lost their first game at home to Niger Tornadoes in Ilorin.

“Although we were not really happy with our loss in the first game of the season to Abia Warriors, we have put the defeat behind us and now focused on the Kwara United game. This is going to be our second match in the league and our first home game, we need to get our plans right because we know what we can do.

“We can’t afford to lose two games in a row and we have to give our 100 percent to the game. Kwara United lost their first game at home and they will be coming all out with fighting spirit. We are ready to counter them. The team spirit is very high in the camp, everyone knows the task ahead and we are focused. So I want to urge our fans to come out and cheer the team to victory at the Agege Stadium,” Onuwa told Sportsbiz247.blogspot.com.
