Yobe Stars striker Philip Auta "to play football" in Heartland

Yobe Stars striker Philip Auta is having an open mind as his relegation-threatened team travel to Okigwe to square up against Heartland in a Matchday 17 fixture in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) this weekend.

Auta recalled how his team pipped the Naze Millionaires 1-0 in the reverse fixture and insists that Yobe Stars can do it again.

“When we played against Heartland in Damaturu, they were in very top shape, but we beat them 1-0; that was our first home game. As we go for the away game, I believe we are going there to play football,” Auta told Goal in an exclusive interview.
