The Borno Army are second on the Group B table with 28 points from 16 games, but they suffered their biggest defeat of the season in Lafia on Sunday, when Nasarawa United taught them some football lessons.

Abbani confessed that it was not just their day and that they must recover from the loss before their NPFL match against Go Round next week.
