Earlier, Pelican Stars FC  coach,  Salish Murtala Olalekan,  has expressed satisfaction with the performance of his players, despite his defeat.
“We conceded two early goals and my girls didn’t quite get into the game early enough. I’m however, very happy with their performance because Rivers Angels is one of the best teams in the country.
“ If you look at the current Pelican squad this season, they are yet to get to that standard. But l’m happy we gave them this fight and l am hoping to go to Akure to repeat what we achieved in Lagos against Dreamstars,” he added
