Playing Against My Former Team Wasn't Easy- Theophilus Afelokhai

The NPFL defending champions, who will host  Niger Tornadoes on Sunday beat Kano Pillars 2-1 on Wednesday, adding that his side will build on their victory against the Kano outfit.

"It was a tough game against Pillars on Wednesday but I am glad we got the win," he said.

"Returning to Kano and playing against my former team wasn’t easy but the victory showed we have character. It will help us in our next game because it was our first win on the road in the league this season."

"People have been saying we are focusing more on the CAF Champions League than the Premier League but with that win, and the one we hope to get against Tornadoes, we should convince our fans that we are still on track in the league."

"Tornadoes have been struggling and since everybody wants  to win away, we will be careful against them to avoid getting beaten at home."

Enyimba are 15th on the table with 17 points and three games in hand while Tornadoes are 16th in the table with 17 points after 14 matches. PUNCH.
