Being the defending champion of the Group and currently in a good position to finish top of the league again, Collin Edwin FC defeated Messiah FC 1-0 to further strengthen their position at the top and pick up their third win in four games in the league.
Speaking to Sports247, Orji Martins of Collin Edwin FC reveals his contentment on the win and states the reason why they are in the league this season.
“It was a tough game, not an easy one for us but we’re happy we won,” he said. “We came here to expose ourselves, we have some new players here who need exposure so we want them to have a test and see how it feels to play in the league,” he added.
Asked about any hope or assurance of winning the league as the defending champions and Martins further reiterated the mission of gaining exposure but he, however, did not rule out the chance to finish top of the league.
