Abubakar Bukola Saraki (ABS) Ilorin Football Club goalkeeper Shakiru Lawal expressed his excitement after achieving his first clean sheet of the season in the team's 1-0 victory over Solution FC on Sunday.
Lawal's performance marked a significant turnaround for ABS, who had conceded 12 goals in their previous seven matches while using four different goalkeepers. This clean sheet is particularly impressive, given that it was only Lawal's second game of the season.
In his debut against Sporting Lagos, Lawal made several crucial saves, although the team ultimately lost. “I’m thrilled about the game, and I believe we’ve finally turned the corner,” Lawal stated. “I’m confident that we’ll build on this momentum and secure a positive result in our next away game.”
Lawal attributed the team’s success to their collective determination and ability to learn from past mistakes. “Before the game, we had a heart-to-heart and reflected on our previous errors.
This helped us to stay focused and achieve our goal,” he added. He underscored the importance of teamwork and resilience, noting that the squad is now more united than ever, eager to continue improving as they look ahead to their upcoming matches.
