Rafael Everton: Akwa United can still win the NPFL title

Akwa United head coach Rafael Everton has highlighted the positives of their 2-2 draw with Kano Pillars in their first game of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) play-offs in Lagos on Tuesday.

The Promise Keepers were on the back foot twice in the game but they came back on both occasions to pick up a valuable point at the end of their explosive encounter at Agege Stadium.

Everton noted that his players must improve in all departments against FC IfeanyiUbah on Thursday.

"It was a good game from my players," Everton told Goal.
