DOLPHINS FC Chief Coach, Hassan Abubakar has admitted that visiting Kwara United of Ilorin did push them to their limits in last Sunday's match day 33 game at the Liberation Stadium.

Emen Eduok's 89th minute strike was all what the Garden City team needed as they took 4points from the maximum six in the away and home meeting against the Afonja Warriors.

The former Golden Eaglets coach said:"The victory was just from God as we threw in all our arsenals and expertise into the game, but as the game seemed to be heading for a draw, Eduok's goal gave us the win.

"Credit too must go to Kwara United as they pushed us to our limits and I hope it doesn't affect us in our game against Gombe United.

"To be honest, these fixtures can be killing, play on Sunday and take the whole of Monday traveling for a mid-week game in Gombe then another trip to Borno State for the weekend match day 35 tie against El-Kanemi.

"It would have been better for us if we made the trip to Maiduguri, but the League Management Company (LMC) in a directive said it wanted all outstanding matches to be played this weekend.

"Nonetheless, we are professionals in this business, so I expect my players to put in their best come Wednesday."

Dolphins are currently placed 8th on the Globacom Premier League log with 47points.
