Niger Tornadoes technical adviser, Majin Mohammed has blamed complacency and fatigue for his team’s 1-1 draw against Kun Khalifat FC.
Kahlid Abba’s long range strike gave the Ikon Allah Boys the lead before Akuta Ugochukwu levelled up for Kun Khalifat.
Niger Tornadoes pushed hard to get the winning goal but to no avail, as the bottom club picked a valuable point in Minna.
Mohammed urged the club supporters to remain calm despite the outcome of the match.
“The bottom line was, the players judged Kun Khalifat FC based on the position they are occupying on the league table and I warned of such, they clearly underrated the opponent,” Mohammed stated in a post-match interview.
“Fatigue equally tell, we travelled to Port Harcourt played on Wednesday came back on Thursday and arrived at night so we couldn’t do anything on Friday, we only had a shake up with almost the same players with travel with.
“Well, there was nothing wrong with our approach to the game, especially when playing at home, the plan was the same, which was to win, I appeal to our people to be calm, whatever we lose here we can equally get it back elsewhere.”
