SWAN Rivers dey find redemption for Borikiri showdown
Na wah oh! These journalists sabi love football well-well, but the trophy no don enter their hand for a while.
Dem last exhibition match na 2–0 L vs Trans Amadi Professionals (TAP) FC. Before that, dem tie 1–1 draw with Rivers State Football Referees’ Council for December 2023.
Dat one just stop the losing wahala wey start from 3–1 defeat vs Nigerian Bar Association (NBA).
This coming clash with Veterans AllStars no be play-play again. Na pride matter, mental matter, and “who sabi ball pass” matter.
SWAN Rivers need to use this chance wipe their face, break the 3-match winless curse wey dey follow dem: two losses plus one draw.
Veterans AllStars dey ready for proper exhibition wahala
Veterans AllStars no dey joke oh. Na ex-players dem be, football men wey sabi control game tempo even if na novelty match.
With SWAN Rivers wey dey struggle recently, this match don turn symbolic showdown. Discipline, stamina, and better finishing go decide the matter.
Last time SWAN meet TAP FC, dem try gbagam, create chances, miss two one-on-one sitters for first half.
But second half na fatigue carry dem go; own goal plus late TAP strike seal their matter. Even with goalkeeper wey dey shine sometimes, wahala still finish dem.
Now, with SWAN @ 60 motivation dey push body, and everybody go dey gingered, SWAN Rivers no fit carry last look again. Them go try turn the script for Borikiri.
