Kano Pillars Chief Coach, Ahmed Garba Yaro Yaro has expressed optimism about the club’s chances of securing a continental ticket next season despite their 2-1 defeat to Plateau United in Jos, BSNSports.com.ng reports. 

The Sai Masu Gida took an early lead but ultimately succumbed to a comeback by the hosts in match day 30 of the 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season.

Speaking after the match, Yaro Yaro described the defeat as painful, given his team's dominance in possession.

“It was a painful defeat, especially considering how well we controlled the game from start to finish.

"However, with the current fair performance of match officials, I am still confident that we can secure one of the three continental slots by the end of the season.

“We missed an important player, Rashid, for this game, and that forced us to make some late changes. However, we will work hard to address our defensive concerns and make the necessary adjustments ahead of our upcoming fixtures.”

Kano Pillars FC will now turn their attention to match day 31, where they will host Bendel Insurance at the Sani Abacha Stadium, Kofar Mata.
