Niger
Tornadoes manager, Abubakar Bala says his side’s defeat to Akwa United in the
final of the 2017 Aiteo Cup is due to ill-luck.
Bala
mastermined remarkable wins over Plateau United and FC Ifeanyi Ubah in the
quarter-finals and semi-finals but failed to land his side their second Cup win
in 17 years on Sunday.
His
team missed four of their six spot kicks in the final as they lost 3-2 to Akwa
United on penalties after regulation scores ended goalless at the Agege Stadium
in Lagos.
However,
he declined a proper post-match interview at the team’s hotel after the game
stating “we were unlucky in the final” before walking away.
Tornadoes
finished the Nigerian Professional Football League season in the 11th position.
