Speaking after KG Sports Academy 1-1 draw against Sharp Strikers, Pa Gabriel admitted that it’s a privilege to be alive to witness another edition of the tournament.
He rued KG academy’s not too exceptional performance insisting that they ought to have claimed maximum points.
“Both teams played well but KG team as a whole didn’t play to my expectations. They have every opportunity to wrap up the game but it’s surprising that they forcefully got a 1-1 draw which I never expected,” he lamented.
On the organization of officiating and players, he said, “actually from the beginning that is the KG director himself has made football easy and enterprising in Agbor, I’m happy with the way things are going on and I pray for him that whatever he has in mind about football in Agbor, Delta and Nigeria as a whole, I pray it comes up.
