Meanwhile, Abia Warriors forward Sunday Megwo praised his team’s collaborative effort following their 2-0 victory over Akwa United at the Umuahia Township Stadium. Megwo highlighted the improvement from their previous match, indicating a solid collective performance that earned them three points.
He noted, “We were aware of the need to perform well against a team like Akwa United, who are currently battling relegation. We needed to find a way to win, as securing maximum points is vital in this second round of the season.”
