Coach Mujin Mohamed has attributed his side win over the hard fighting Doma United to determination.

"We came all out to pick the three points in the game knowing well that we are having double away to Remo Stars and Plateau United and we know those two away matches would not be easy.

Speaking ahead of the games against Remo Stars and Plateau United, coach Mohamed said Niger Tornadoes would be able to come out with points in the next two away.

"Football is full of surprises. Don't write us off against the two teams. One good thing going for us now is that we are playing away from home, so anywhere we play as far as it is in Nigeria, we always believe it is our home and then we put in our best by attacking and getting goals because for you to win matches you must score goals," said.

On the inability of his team to score more goals in the second half against Doma United, coach Mohamed explained "Some times football is like that. We came with a game plan to score goals as earlier as possible. If we can get our goal, which we got, we decided not to rush so as not to open up our defence. We felt if we can not score we should not also allow them to score and hold on to the goals we had scored.

The coach added that they will do everything possible to retain the bulk of the players ahead next season.

"We are doing all we can to keep the team together. Once we maintain our status in the NPFL then we build on the existing

Tornadoes goals came from Mohammed Husseini in the 13th minutes while Clinton Jephta added the 24th minutes.
