Kwara United have sent apologies to their ardent fans and supporters in the wake of a disappointing 2-1 loss to Niger Tornadoes in their first home match in the 2024/2025 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) season.
Despite taking control of proceedings from the blast of the whistle with a strong display, Kwara United succumbed to goals from Joseph Godstime in the 36th minute and Sebiu Ibrahim in the 62nd minute.
Although Sadeeq Yusuf managed to salvage a goal in the dying moments of the match, it proved insufficient to salvage a draw for the home side.
Head Coach, Tunde Sanni, attributed the defeat to his players’ lack of inefficiency in front of goal.
