StarTimes/NPFL: Niger Tornadoes Gaffer Disappointed With Draw Against Kwara United

By Precious Oham

Niger Tornadoes Assistant Coach, Isyaku Ilyasu has expressed disappointment after his side failed to pick the maximum points in the game with Kwara United, BSNSports.com.ng reports. 

Bashir Usman's 10th goal of the season salvaged a crucial point for Niger Tornadoes as they drew 1-1 with Kwara United in a dramatic NPFL Matchday 34 encounter at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium in Kaduna.

The Ikon Allah Boys' top scorer came off the bench to rescue a point with a late equalizer, sparing his team from defeat.

Ilyasu said: "It's really unfortunate, we worked very hard and planned to get the three points, because we knew it will elevate us from the position we are, since the season is coming to an end, but generally, we just had a bad day, even the fans are aware of that. 

"They know the kind of football we have played here, but today is just that off day and you can't rule it out in football. Thankfully through our resilience we were able to pick at least a point."

The dramatic finish ensured that the hosts escaped defeat and stayed a little above the drop zone in the NPFL standings.
