After their commanding performance in the Nationwide League One match that saw First Bank FC secure a resounding 12-1 victory over Zenith Emperor, First Bank FC’s captain, Sidime Mohammed, shared his thoughts in a post-match interview with Sports 247.
The game result left spectators stunned and led to various speculations.
When asked about his expectations for the high-scoring encounter, Mohammed revealed, “We came here to play for more goals.”
He emphasized the importance of goal difference in determining their position in the league table, acknowledging the significance of their impressive goal tally in the match.
“And we got more goals and we are delighted we scored enough goals because, at the end of the day, goals might count because the team in 2nd place on the log is close behind us and if we end up with the same points goals might determine who tops the group.
So that’s why we needed to score more goals and we thank God we scored more goals and came out with the victory.”
Looking ahead to their remaining matches, Mohammed expressed his team’s ambition to continue their goal-scoring spree.
“We strive to go for more,” he declared. He emphasized their focus on scoring early goals and maintaining momentum throughout the game to secure maximum points and bolster their goal difference.
Reflecting on their opponents, Mohammed acknowledged Zenith Emperor’s quality but noted the advantage his team gained from their opponent’s late arrival and lack of warm-up.
Despite recognizing their opponent’s strength, Sidime Mohammed highlighted First Bank FC’s strategy of taking each goal as it comes, focusing on building their lead gradually rather than looking too far ahead.
Overall, Mohammed’s comments underscored First Bank FC’s commitment to their goal-scoring approach and their determination to maintain their position at the top of the league table.
With their eyes set on securing promotion, First Bank FC remains focused on maximizing their goal tally in the remaining matches of the season.
