Abia Warriors’ Emmanuel Deutsch has asserted that the only edge they had over Gateway United in their Federation Cup Round of 32 match was their experience, which they utilised to the optimum to secure a 2-0 win on Wednesday in Warri.
Goals from Paul Samson and Tunde Abdulsalam Atilola in the 15th and 57th minutes guided the Warriors to another place in the Round of 16, just like it was last season before they were booted out of the competition.
Reacting to the manner in which his players overpowered Gateway United, Deutsch disclosed that the only difference between his team and the defeated Ogun State representatives was the mature way his players composed themselves in the final third.
