Dogo described the game as a tough, tactical battle for both sides, crediting his players' determination and perseverance for securing a valuable point away from home.

“So far, so good. On our own team, I will say we thank God for the success. Everybody watching knows that it is not an easy game for both teams. It's a very difficult and tactical game, and that is why you see the two teams were able to bring their defensive line to defend their goals. As far as I'm concerned, I believe that my team's commitment, endurance, perseverance, and patience paid off today. I have to give kudos to my boys for the job well done.”

The Niger Tornadoes coach also praised his players for their efforts and thanked the club's management and supporters for their continued backing. He further commended the match officials while acknowledging that there is always room for improvement across the game.

The result proved the Tornadoes can get a result on the road against a Ranchers Bees team desperate for a home win. Dogo will now be looking to build on that and get his boys ready for the next game.
