The Technical Adviser of Kwara United FC, Coach Abdullahi Biffo has attributed the outcome of their friendly match with Ekiti United FC to bad pitch, even as he added that the experience will only put his team at advantage when the league begins.

Kwara United FC got their goal through Magaji Issa in the 19th minute, while Ifeanyi Anyanwu, who also scored from the spot, equalised for the homers in the 62nd minute.

‘The good thing is that we are gradually adapting to the ugly challenges in terms of bad pitches, and the players are cruising along with it, which is good for us’, he said.
Coach Biffo, who downplayed his team’s unbeaten run in the run of friendly matches played so far said that the build-up of the team is encouraging, adding that the blending had ensured that each and every player is contributing to the team’s gradual progress.
‘I cherish a situation where each and every player is contributing, and that is what we have so far achieved, and I must say that the team is improving with every match played’, he added.
