Manager of Village Galaxy Akin Phillip, said after the match, the best is yet to come from his team. “We were nine points down. I mean, we started off slow, two losses to Newtown, Dieppe Bay. We had to get something out of this game,” he said. “We won. It’s about time we won a game because we’ve been losing since Premier (League)…We scored goals (tonight). That has been our problem–Goals and we’ve got a lot more goals in store. We’ve got a lot more wins in store… We’re going forward because we’ve got to catch up. We started off against some strong teams and trust me, we’re going to finish off strong. We’re going into the second round with a momentum. So, other teams got to watch out,” Phillip added.
