NPFL: Magin Mohammad unveils strategy behind Niger Tornadoes win at Bayelsa United

Arriving at the fixture on the heels of a disappointing 2-0 home loss to Enugu Rangers, the Ikon Allah Boys were determined to regain their winning form.

From the outset, they displayed vigor and focus while also maintaining a solid defensive stance against their hosts.

The breakthrough came in the 57th minute when new signing Ikechukwu Nwani capitalized on a well-crafted buildup initiated by Derou Chima and Clinton Jephta, slotting home the decisive goal.

Despite Bayelsa United’s attempts to find an equalizer, Tornadoes’ resilient defense, led by Mohammed Hussaini and Silvester Bell, thwarted their efforts, ensuring a clean sheet for the visitors.

Coach Mohammad commended his players for their performance, attributing the victory to meticulous planning and a positive mindset, stressing the need to bounce back from setbacks.

The victory marked Tornadoes’ first away win of the season and secured a double over Bayelsa United. With 27 points on the board, they now sit just outside the relegation zone, gearing up to face Sporting Lagos in Kaduna on Wednesday.
