“It was a good game for the two teams.”

On his part, Kabiru Dogo, the Wikki Tourists’ Technical Adviser, said the team played very well to get the three points.

“I commend my players and also appreciate the people of Bauchi and the supporters.

“Now, we are going to replicate the same performance in our next match on Wednesday. But we thank God for this victory,” he said.

Wikki Tourists will in their next league game on Wednesday face defending champions Akwa United in Uyo.
