Warri Wolves head coach Alhassan Abdalla was in high spirits after his side broke their winless run in the 2026/27 NPFL campaign, beating Kwara United 1-0 in a matchday four fixture in Ozoro, Delta State.
Ejike’s Early Strike Settles It
Ezekiel Ejike scored eight minutes into the match to hand the Seasiders their first maximum points of the season, lifting them to 17th in the standings with three points.
Abdalla Relieved To Get Off The Mark
Speaking at the post match press conference, an obviously relieved Abdalla said he was thankful for the win, describing Kwara United as a difficult opponent but expressing happiness at finally picking up three points. He said the result would help instil a winning mentality in the squad as they head into a midweek trip to face Niger Tornadoes in Minna.
Still Room For Improvement
Despite the celebration, Abdalla was careful not to get carried away, acknowledging some technical lapses in the team that still need addressing. He appealed to supporters to remain patient with a young squad, saying the team would continue to improve as the season progresses.
