Coach Majin Mohammed of Niger Tornadoes expressed surprise and disappointment at his team's subpar performance against Nasarawa United. He attributed the loss to his players' complacency, suggesting that they underestimated their opponents.

Mohammed noted that Nasarawa United's desperation for points led to a high-intensity game, which put his team under pressure from the start. The early concession of a goal made it difficult for Tornadoes to recover.

Despite the setback, Mohammed remains optimistic about the team's prospects, citing their youth and ongoing development. He assured fans that the team will strive to improve upon their previous campaign's performance.
