Nasarawa United technical adviser, Salisu Yusuf has said his team played under pressure in the win over Rangers.
The Solid Miners defeated the defending champions 1-0 in a matchday 30 fixture at the Lafia City Stadium on Friday.
Yusuf admitted that the encounter was difficult for his team.
“Playing against a team in the top-three is always difficult, and considering our position on the table. This made our players to be anxious and under so kind of pressure,” Yusuf stated in a post-match interview.
“You could see what happened in the first half when they were supposed to score on three occasions but were jittery.
“We created some great chances, but we ended up winning with a penalty, which, to me, is a good result.”
Rangers gave us a good fight. They had more resting days compared to us. But let me say it’s a fantastic game.”
