Speaking after the match, Ingas coach, Kingsley Obiekwo said his team played well despite having played three matches in three days.
“I know the players can do better than this, if not for fatigue. We defended and attacked as a unit and at the end of the day, God rewarded our effort,” the coach said.
The former Super Eagles player said his players were playing for their future because he told them that playing against Rangers FC in the final match was paramount.
“I know that the players could have the opportunity of playing for Rangers FC and other big clubs, if they played well and that is the joy of Aiteo cup,” he said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Ingas FC will on June 14 play Rangers International FC of Enugu to determine who gets the sole ticket to the national Aiteo Cup.
Obiekwo, who once coached Ifeanyi Ubah FC of Nnewi and Delta Force of Asaba, said the final match against Rangers FC would be a good one for him.
“Ingas FC has been to the national Aiteo Cup three times and this time around, representing the state will be a welcome development,” Obiekwo said. (NAN)
