Tenger: No Room For Complacency

Lobi Stars have vowed  not to underrate their semi final opponents in the Benue State FA Cup, Nwaudo Football Academy so that they are not shocked out.


The Makurdi side head coach, Justin Tenger said that his side would handle their Friday FA Cup tie with Nwaudo with all care and seriousness it deserves so that they can get play in the final.

Speaking through the club’s Media Officer, Mark Agbo, Coach Tenger said the FA Cup and the league are two different tournament that he doesn’t want to toy with at all.

“No one toys with knockout games. Unlike the league, once you are kicked out you do not have an opportunity to make up. I watched the team (Nwaudo Academy) beat Salem FC of Otukpo 3-1 and they are a good side. No team should be taken for granted,” Tenger said.
