“It was a fantastic game. We came out with a tactical approach to the game, and the players executed it well,” he said.
The goalkeeper trainer reserved special praise for shot-stopper Vincent Edafe, who delivered a composed and determined performance between the posts to secure a valuable away point.
“Vincent Edafe gave it his all, and we earned the point we deserved here in Minna,” Olorunda added.
Warri Wolves’ defensive organisation proved crucial as they absorbed pressure from the hosts while remaining compact and structured throughout the contest. The result sees the club occupy 10th position on the league table with 36 points, a steady platform as the campaign enters a decisive phase.
Olorunda also acknowledged the impact of recent adjustments within the technical crew, commending the squad for adapting quickly to the changes.
“With the new changes in the coaching crew, the team needs to be credited for adapting. The response from the players has been positive, and you can see that in our performances.”
Attention now shifts to their upcoming fixture against nine-time NPFL champions Enyimba FC, popularly known as the People’s Elephant, in Ozoro. Olorunda expressed confidence ahead of the clash, referencing their earlier success against the same opponents.
“Our approach remains the same. We defeated them in their backyard in the first leg, so why can’t we do it again at home?” he concluded.
Warri Wolves will look to build on their defensive solidity as they prepare for another crucial test in their league campaign.
