In the heat of the moment when Wasiu appeared disgruntled over his substitution, the former Enyimba forward told continentalnews.com.ng, saying “I was close to scoring another goal that’s after the assistant referee took my goal as an offside, not that I was not happy that I was substituted, but I was angry with myself that I can still do more and score a goal that will help my team win, same way I did in quarter and semi finals”
Kwara United edged Abakiliki FC 4-3 on penalties on Saturday evening to emerge champions of the 2025 President federation’s cup at the Johnson Mobolaji Arena, Lagos.
