According to him, his team has always played badly, but win saying that in the end of the day, all that matters is the three points and that they have gotten it and it has taken the team back to the top of the group.
“Fatigue had nothing to do with our performance today, there are days you find it difficult to play the way you want but at least, you get the required results.
“Also, having players at the National camp doesn’t mean the team should struggle, you still have to use what you have back home to execute your games.
“I am happy with the result gotten and glad we took back the top spot before the breaks. We will go back to the drawing board to correct the mistakes from today’s encounter,” Okon concluded.
