Shehu Abdullahi Commends Anorthosis FC’s Unyielding Streak Despite Tough Draw

Nigeria’s defensive stalwart, Shehu Abdullahi, expressed his delight at Anorthosis FC’s steadfast unbeaten run in the Cypriot League this season, following a hard-fought home draw against AEL at Stadio Antoni’s Papadopoulos on Saturday.

Despite the league leaders being held to a 1-1 draw, Abdullahi remains optimistic about the team’s performance, especially given the potential threat posed by second-placed AEK Lamaca, who could displace Anorthosis from the top spot with a win against Paphos on Sunday.

The right back, disappointed with the missed opportunity for a victory, conveyed his contentment with securing a point, emphasizing the difficulty of the game. Abdullahi took to Twitter on Sunday morning to share his thoughts, stating, “Difficult game, not the result we wanted, but we kept the unbeaten run intact. Happy Sunday Anorthosis fans and Nigerians.”

A regular fixture in the Super Eagles lineup, Abdullahi has actively contributed to Anorthosis’ campaign, featuring in seven out of 13 league games this season, albeit with one red card to his name. His commitment to both club and country reflects in his dedication to maintaining Anorthosis FC’s unbeaten status, a feat that has garnered attention and admiration from football enthusiasts and supporters alike.

As the Cypriot League unfolds, fans eagerly await the outcome of subsequent matches, anticipating whether Anorthosis can preserve their lead or if challenges lie ahead in maintaining their formidable position atop the league table.
