Speaking to Sports247 post-match, Dannaz FC Technical Director said: “The boys were able to step up their game, especially playing against a decent side which hadn’t lost before today.
“Credits to the young lads for being able to play against some experienced players who have played in the NPFL before.
“We were able to stick to our game plan and try to take our chances. It was a game of mixed moments. They had interesting moments in the first half. We had some interesting moments as well.
“Few games left, always very difficult, everybody wants to play us. We can only keep improving, keep developing the players and stay focused.”
Akande also lauded the organizers of the Fusion Football Championship and urged private investors to chip in with some financial support.
“We should give kudos to the organizers. It’s a wonderful platform. It would be nice if they are able to have more stadiums and spread out the games.
“Hopefully they can get some support from private investors. They have been doing a wonderful job,” he said.
