Kano Pillars head coach, Ibrahim Musa has stated that they were able to beat the stubborn El Kanemi Warriors as a result of his second-half tactical substitutions.
Sai Masu Gida defeated the Borno Army 2-1 in a highly charged league tie played at the Sani Abacha Stadium, Kano on Sunday and the three points have lifted them to the fourth spot in the top-flight Group B with 23 points from 14 games.
Even though Gambo Mohammed scored his second goal of the season in the eighth minute to signal that it might be a comfortable win for the hosts but El Kanemi turned the heat on Ibrahim Musa’s men urged on by the performance of former players of Pillars who were led by Mohammed Babaganaru.
