Kwara United's technical adviser, Tunde Sanni, has cautioned his team against underestimating Abakaliki FC ahead of the President's Federation Cup final, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
The Harmony Boys will face Abakaliki FC at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Onikan, on Saturday.
Sanni emphasized that his team is focused on ending their 49-year trophy drought and will approach the match with the necessary seriousness.
Abakaliki FC has impressed in their journey to the final, defeating NPFL sides Nasarawa United, Enyimba, and Ikorodu City.
“We are not Ikorodu City. Ask them what we did to them in both Lagos and Ilorin – they will tell you,” Sanni told Sure FM as per Daily Sport.
“We are not underrating Abakaliki FC, but we are also not afraid. We’ll settle everything on the pitch in 90 minutes.
“We will approach the match with focus and seriousness, but without panic. The aim is to make our supporters proud.”
Kwara United will need to be at their best to overcome the determined Abakaliki FC team.
