Gateway United head coach Festus Allen has urged his players to maintain their strong winning mentality ahead of their upcoming Nigeria National League (NNL) fixture against Calabar Rovers.
The Abeokuta-based club secured a crucial 2-1 victory over Sporting Lagos in their Matchday 19 encounter at the Otunba Dipo Dina Stadium in Ijebu-Ode on Saturday.
Following the impressive performance, Allen praised his squad while emphasizing the importance of staying focused on their upcoming challenges.
"This team is showing real belief," Allen stated after the match. "We've developed a strong mentality, and this game was another example of how far we've come. Mubaraq deserves all the praise, but it was a full team effort."
The coach further stressed the need for consistency as they look to build on their recent success. "Now, we must stay grounded, keep working, and take this momentum into the next game. We're building something strong here, and I'm confident this group of players can go far if they maintain this focus."
Gateway United will face their next challenge when they travel to the UJ Esuene Stadium in Calabar to lock horns with Calabar Rovers next week, as they continue their campaign in Nigeria's second-tier football league.
The win against Sporting Lagos has provided Gateway United with valuable momentum as they push forward in the competitive NNL season.
