Katsina United will build on AITEO Cup success, says Biffo
Katsina United Technical Adviser Abdullahi Biffo is pleased with the performance of his team in the 2018 AITEO Cup competition despite their semi-final defeat to Kano Pillars on Wednesday.
Katsina United came back from two goals down to draw level against Kano Pillars before losing 4-1 on penalties at the Agege Stadium, Lagos.
In a chat with SportingLife.ng, the former Niger Tornadoes manager said he is going to take the positives from the competition.
“Aiteo Cup provided best opportunity for us to test our young players. We made positive impact in the competition and there are lots of positive things to take from the tournament. We have a young team and we will build on our achievement in the Aiteo Cup. We have identified some areas we have to work on before the next season,” Biffo said to SportingLife.ng.
Speaking on the outcome of the game against Kano Pillars, Biffo added: “We tried our best in the game against pillars but our best was not enough. We played till the final minute and ensured that we got the equalizer. We could have got the winning goal but my boys relaxed and I was surprised that my boys didn’t push for the winning goal because Kano Pillars was tired towards the end of the game. Also, Kano Pillars have their goalkeeper David Obiozor to thank for making frantic saves in the game. Obiozor made the difference in the game.
