KWARA United coach, Abdullahi Biffo has admitted that Rivers United were the better side in their NPFL Week 3 encounter decided in Port Harcourt on Sunday.
The Harmony Boys went down 3-0 at the
Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium, no thanks to two goals in the first-half by Ifeanyi
Anaemena and Godwin Aguda and one by Chika Godwin late in the second-half that
helped the Pride of Rivers move to the top of the NPFL table.
In a post match
interview, Biffo said his team came into the game with high hopes of a
favourable result but met one of the best teams in the country.
“If you don't
play very well, you cannot get a draw not to talk of the win. I think we came
here with the high hopes of winning the game but you can see that we played a
very credible team, a strong team. A team that has been on the continent. As
you can see out of four matches played, they won three and lost one and in the
league, they just won three. To tell you, we have not lost to just a team. We
lost to one of the best club in the country.
Kwara United
began the season in a blazing form with an emphatic away win at Plateau United
and Biffo stated that his players will learn from the defeat.
"It's a big lesson for us. Winning the first match does not make us special. So I think the boys will now know that we have to take every game seriously," Biffo noted.
