NNL: Offor delighted with Akwa United's positive start to new season
Akwa United head coach, Paul Offor, has attributed his team's victory over Ekiti United to the players' hard work and determination.
The Promise Keepers thrashed Ekiti United 3-0 in their Nigeria National League, NNL, opening fixture at the Uyo Township Stadium on Sunday.
Pascal Ubah, Kammonke Willie and defender Michael Famoyegun were on target for Akwa United in the game.
Offor was happy with the outcome of the matchday one encounter.
"I am very happy with the scoreline. It was a very difficult game, but we knew what we needed to do to get this result," Offor told the club's media.
"The boys put in a lot of hard work, and the new players are quickly settling into the team.
"We are particularly happy that we scored through three different players operating in three different positions. This shows that we are building a team where anyone can score at any time.
"We came into this game with several lessons from our pre-season matches. We had a lot of challenges during pre-season, but we went out to find solutions and worked very hard, particularly on our finishing. Today, we have started exactly the way we planned."
