Still basking in the euphoria of their recent victory at the NNL Super 4 Challenge in Bauchi, Katsina United yesterday defeated 2016 Federation Cup winners, FC IfeanyiUbah 1-0 in a pre-season friendly played in Nnewi.
Before yesterday's victory, Katsina United were forced to a 1-1 draw by the Anambra Warriors in their first friendly match played on Tuesday.
Katsina opened scoring in the first half before their host later equalised to even scores in the highly entertaining match.
However, luck deserted FC IfeanyiUbah yesterday as they failed to cancel out the lone goal scored by Katsina United's Frank in the second half of the keenly contested encounter.
The victory came as sweet revenge for Katsina United who were controversially eliminated in this year's Federation Cup at the quarter final stage by FC IfeanyiUbah in Ilorin.
In a chat with the media, Chairman of Katsina United Alhaji Aminu Balele Kurfi who doubles as Senior Special Assistant on Sports to Katsina State governor said the victory is a morale booster for his team.
He said the team being assembled by Coach Bala Nyiku is gradually taking shape and would surely take the Nigeria Professional Football League by storm.
