Stephen Gideon secured victory for Kwara United with a goal in the 71st minute. Despite the loss, Abdallah praised his team's determination and attributed the defeat to their inexperience. \"Ranchers Bees are a Nigeria National League team that just gained promotion. Fifty percent of my players have never played in the NPFL,\" he said.
