After routing Robo 4-2 earlier this season, the Jewels of Rivers are bracing for a fiery response—and they’re ready to mute the noise again.
Head coach Tosan Blankson leads the charge with purpose, revealing that the team’s early arrival was no accident.
“We arrived in Lagos on time because we are here for serious business,” he said. “We know it’s a tough match we are going to play on Wednesday. The players need to recover and prepare fully.”
Having outclassed their hosts in Port Harcourt, the Garden City Angels know the reverse fixture won’t come easy.
