Attacking midfielder, Daniel Etor has said that Niger Tornadoes got more than they asked for against newcomers, Rising Stars in a Matchday 11 game at the Bako Kontagora Stadium, Minna.
The former ABS playmaker scored his side's decisive lone goal and his season's first in the 12th minute to take the Minna-based side's points to 13 from possible 30.
Etor told SuperSport.com that they were lucky to have survived the onslaught from the visitors.
"Rising Stars gave us a real run for our money. They surprised us with their resolve to win, I can only say we were lucky to pick the maximum points.
"I'm happy my goal did the magic for my side.
"This happens to be my first goal of the season, it's a kind of double celebration for me.
"We needed the victory badly after we lost previously to Akwa United and Kaduna United.
"It would have been disastrous losing three games in a row.
"The victory will surely help our standing on the log as well as boost our confidence going into the next matches.
"Tornadoes remain a candidate for the league shield," he said.
Tornadoes will face champions, Dolphins on Matchday 12 in Port Harcourt next weekend.
