Abia Warriors striker, Sunday Megwo, has expressed happiness in helping his side to a comfortable 3-1 victory over Plateau United in Sunday’s Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) fixture at the Umuahia Township Stadium.
Megwo has turned out to be a talisman in his side whenever they win especially at their Umuahia Township Stadium ground.
The striker scored in their 2-0 win over Kano Pillars and followed up with a late winner against Kwara United (1-0) before netting in the recent 3-1 win over Plateau United. All of the three goals have been recorded at the Umuahia Township Stadium.
The Abia Warriors man took time to speak on Sunday’s win revealing that they expected “a tough match” since Plateau United are a top side.
True to words, Plateau United shot into the lead through Sadiq Abubakar Adamu on 40 minutes before Megwo and Ojonugwa Adejoh scored a goal each in added time of first half for Abia Warriors to take a 2-1 lead into the break.
Paul Samson scored the third, and Megwo feels his teammates deserve all the commendation for their effort in ensuring they claimed their third win of the season after eight matches.
He believes the victory will help the team’s confidence in subsequent matches.
“We knew this was a tough match against a strong opponent,” Megwo said.
“But we were prepared and we played as a team. Everyone contributed to the victory, from the defenders to the attackers. We’re happy to get the three points and keep moving forward.”
Megwo and his teammates will be braced to face Bendel Insurance in their next NPFL fixture at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium this weekend.
