Saki United Coach, Iwalewa Qoseem popularly known as Walcott has told his players not to be distracted ahead today's match against Katsina United at the round of 64 knock out stage slated for 2:00PM at Minna township stadium.
The Asabari warriors were through to the round of 64 after beating Sokoto Professionals 2-0 last Monday with Owoade Emmanuel grabbing a brace at the 27th and 35th minutes.
Coincidentally, Saki United will again battle Katsina United under Coach Usman Abdallah at the same Minna township stadium, a familiar ground where they've played two matches. First was against Sokoto Professionals and a friendly match against Soccer Talents where they thrashed the Minna based side 6-1.
Speaking to OyoSportsNews on Sunday morning, Walcott said his players are ready for the match and will not be distracted.
"When it comes to Nigeria Professional Football League, Katsina United are no small team, though they just got relegated but a professional league club in Nigeria is not push over. I've told them to concentrate, follow all technical instructions, put in their best, pay attention to all areas that needed adjustment. We are going into this particular match with more confidence and determination. I believe, with God our side and having done all necessary things, God will make it a sweet day.
Meanwhile, another Oyo representative at the Aiteo Cup, Oyo State Housing Corporation FC yesterday qualifed to the round of 32 with 4-2 win over Jigawa Golden Stars. A hat-trick from Ogungbade Faruk and Akinlabi Oladimeji gave the Ibadan based team the much needed win.
