NNL: Rovers FC boss Blankson credits tactical switch for Stormers victory

Rovers FC head coach Tosan Blankson has praised his tactical changes as the catalyst for Stormers SC's 1-0 defeat in the Nigeria National League, NNL, matchday two clash in Calabar. The home team secured a narrow victory at the UJ Esuene Stadium on Saturday. Substitute Richard Atsu capitalized on the opportunity to score the winning goal for Rovers FC.

Blankson admitted that his team had numerous chances to widen the scoreline, but ultimately fell short. "I will say the changes I made was the turning point for us in the game," Blankson told the club’s media. "We will have to go back and make some corrections because the attackers were not clinical enough in the game." Rovers FC will face Godswill Akpabio United in the next NNL fixture in Uyo, with the coach confident of relying on his substitute bench once again.
