Kano Pillars defender, Jonathan Zikiye, has said that Rivers United gave his side too much respect in their Nigeria Professional Football League match day 32 in Kano.
Gambo Mohammed''s 23rd minute goal from a close range gave the home team the all important three points needed in the game on Sunday at the Sani Abacha stadium.
Zikiye added that Rivers United created lots of chances but their ability to convert theirs and early in the game made the defference between the two sides.
"Rivers United is a very good team but I think they showed us too much respect.
"We deserve respect but it was a factor.
"Our ability to convert one of our chances in the first half was the major difference today," he told Rivers United Media.
Meanwhile, United forward, Chinonso Okonkwo, said they paid dearly for the loss by failing to convert all the chances the created in the game, but insisted that they will bounce back in their next game.
"We failed to take any of our chances and it cost us today.
"Hopefully, we will make up for this disappointment with positive results in subsequent matches he said.
