We were finding it very difficult to receive the balls and pass well but then irrespective of that we did the needful by scoring,” Ogum said.

Abalora was excellent in goal, makseveralr of key saves to deny Goldstars from scoring at the Duns Park on Friday.

Ogum added, “And as for Razak that is why he is part of the team, that is his responsibility. When the last linedefenceense is beaten it is his responsibility to keep the team in the game and that is what he did both in the first half and second half. Kudos to him!.

“I like his confidence, his bravery and I like his judgment and his anticipation. He is great…he is a wonderful goalkeeper.”
