Magnut expressed relief following the victory, noting that it would serve as a motivational boost for his players moving forward in the season.

“It was a good win, and it will help motivate the team towards recovering the lost points,” Magnut told the club’s media team.

“I believe the boys deserved it because they worked for it.”

The win sees Plateau United rise to 16th in the standings with 28 points from 24 matches, providing them with a much-needed lift in their fight to avoid relegation.
