"Victories recorded here in the Gold Cup Tourney in Akure is no fluke as our play tactics is unique. We play as a unit, attacking and defending together.

"We're also a disciplined side. We don't like to give away ball possession easily and our defending have been fantastic as we have kept three clean sheets and scored five goals.


"This match stat is good for my team's psyche as it will boost their confidence level. Mental fitness is really a problem for many players in domestics leagues as they easily give when the challenge is tough.
