I also thanked my players for playing according to our instructions. I'm happy with how they executed our game plan because, tactically, Yobe Desert Warriors are a very good team."

‎Musa also emphasized the need for improvement, saying, "Despite the victory, we still have to improve on some certain deficiencies we observed. We will not get carried away with this victory; it's over now, and we prepare for our next game at home against Jigawa Golden Stars."

‎The Technical Adviser also thanked the fans for their support, saying, "It was marvelous and fantastic turning out to support us. We say thank you, our supporters; we need more of that."

‎Bichi First FC's Mustapha Muhammad has been named SWAN Kano Man of the Match, following his outstanding performance in midfield and attack before being substituted.

‎The Vice President of Bichi First FC, Alhaji Hassan Atana, represented the President, Hon. Engr. Abubakar Kabir (Abba Bichi), and expressed the president's happiness with the team's performance. Atana emphasized that the team's target is to reach the highest level, and the president is always ready to support them.
