Head coach of Akwa United, Mohammed Baba Ganaru has revealed what his side will do differently to secure their first win of the 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League season, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

He expressed confidence in the ability of his team to record its first win of the campaign when they take on Kano Pillars at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo on Sunday.

The Promise Keepers have suffered three straight defeats while managing two draws in their opening five matches of the season.

In an exclusive interview with the club's media, Baba Ganaru revealed that Sunday's match will be the turning point for his team and assured that his boys will not leave any stone unturned as they are determined to approach the match with a winning mentality.

 "We have only one thing to focus our attention on and that is to ensure we translate our ball play to goals by making sure we make the best use of our chances during the match. We have properly assessed our previous matches and taken note of the mistakes that we made.

"We have worked on those noticeable lapses and we know what to do to avoid a repeat of those mistakes as we go into the next match.

"We understand that we are not where we would love to be in the league table after five rounds of matches and our fans are not happy with the results so far.

 "That is why we are determined to hit the ground running by putting in that extra energy that will give us the result that we need.

"The league is very competitive, and we are aware that no two matches are the same; again, every opponent will always come up with game plans.

"Kano Pillars is a team with a tough mentality, but we have our game plan, and my players are ready and committed to stick to our plan. I am confident that they will deliver on Sunday as we hope to record our first win of the season."
