Adewale Adeyinka proud of another Man-of-the-Match performance in Niger Tornadoes win; his 12th cleansheet

Akwa United goalkeeper Adewale Adeyinka was delighted with ‘hard fought’ 1-0 victory over Niger Tornadoes on Sunday.

It was their second consecutive cleansheet result in the league since Sunshine Stars and gives the Promise Keepers a hope of finishing in top four with just two points separating them from fourth placed side, Remo Stars.

At the Godswill Akpabio Stadium, shotstopper Adeyinka produced a Man of the Match Performance to claim his side all maximum points against Niger Tornadoes. He made 5 impressive saves to keep his side in the match before a Matthew Etim 81st minutes penalty secured them the win.

He has so far kept 12 cleansheets this season.

“We are very happy with the win as well as the clean sheet,” said Adeyinka to Lodgexpress.com.

“That is the second consecutive cleansheet in the last two games now, and we are delighted with the outcome against a tough team. Niger Tornadoes are playing extremely well this season so we knew it was going to be tough but I thought we were outstanding once again.

“We pushed really well and worked really hard during the game and we played our football when we were in possession of the ball.

“When we lost possession we defended superbly, everyone joined and we defended together, and when we did have the ball we showed our quality and some of the attacking play was great, we created quite a few chances.
